Re: XML Schema for XTM DTD

I note that both you and Kal think so. I'm happy to stay with DTDs,
but we'll see what other people think. I personally don't mind using
RELAX-NG as the normative version instead.

It certainly makes sense as a first step, I agree.

Anyway, it seems that people are in favour of creating these schemas,
and adding them to the specification, so we'll do that and have them
as appendices to the next draft.

The way the current XTM syntax spec is written rather depends on
having a concise schema language (and also on the DTD), so I think the
next draft probably will still have DTDs as the normative schema
language, but we can discuss which one to choose in London.
