[Bug-gnupedia] DTD vs XML Schema

I think we should consider using an XML Schema or set of 
XML Schemas, rather than a DTD.

The DTD gets awkward pretty quickly, at least if you want 
to try to provide semantic hints for the content.  XML 
Schema seems much more flexible.

The main drawback is that XML Schema is not yet a W3C 
Recommendation, though it is very close (I admit to not 
having checked for a couple months);  close enough to begin 
to be used.

XML namespaces and schemas certainly make it easier to 
manage the specifications for a broadly diversified group 
of documents than would DTDs.
