I've written a paper for XML 2003 on a technique for dual use of DTDs and RNG schemas suggested by James on the nxml list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/emacs-nxml-mode/message/129). I've posted the paper at http://www.snee.com/bob/temp/06-04-05.html, and would love to hear suggestions from anyone who has a chance to read it in the next few days. One question I have in particular is whether "add-on schema," as I've termed it, is the most appropriate name for a schema that specifies constraints to be used in conjunction with a DTD, or if another term makes more sense, such as "auxiliary schema." Writing this was a bit of a milestone for me: I downloaded the conference paper DTD, converted it to RNC, and wrote the paper using Emacs and nxml without ever looking at the DTD or RNC files. (The acronym "RNC," by the way, has odd associations for people in the United States, because it usually refers to the "Republican National Committee," the group that runs George Bush's political party.) thanks, Bob DuCharme www.snee.com/bob <bob@ snee.com> "The elements be kind to thee, and make thy spirits all of comfort!"
