My preference is always open standards. I would prefer it if the schema
was available as a W3C xml Schema. Most of my frustration occurred when
performing the translation from the DTD. I have yet to have a problem
bringing in a W3C schema into most applications. The problem seems to
be wrapped around the auto-generation of schemas from DTD. So the short
answer is "YES" I would prefer a W3C xml schema to a DTD. I ended up
with two versions. Since then I have set it aside and have not applied
resources to completing the work.
I know we discussed the rationale for using DTD at the inception of the
XTM Working Group. I just don't remember what that rationale was...
Must be because I sit on the cusp of my 40th birthday - the memory is
fading. :)
