I've been asking for a DTD + data types conformance level since the
first schema spec and have never gotten an answer. Are there any
technical reasons this can't be done? Given the number of applications
that could use such a conformance level, and the relative ease of
implementing it, I can't imagine why the WG wouldn't want this. What
does the WG have to gain by pushing these users into using non-standard
schema languages? The only objection I can think of is that it might
mean few people implement the full spec. But if this is what the public
wants, why shouldn't they have it?

(Without knowing the schema spec extremely well, I'd actually guess that
there are probably three levels of conformance: DTD + data types,
inheritance, and kitchen sink.)
