As I understand it, XML Schema are the successor for DTDs.
W3C XML Schema is at best an alternative to DTDs. The logical _successor_ for DTDs is Relax NG [1].
My guess is that we should use a Schema unless there's a good reason to use a DTD.
In my experience, you should only use W3C XML Schema
if there is absolutely no other choice. Relax NG
is almost always the more appropriate technology.
