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. [1] <URL: http://www.relaxng.org/ > --Joe English jenglish@flightlab.com
