At the moment the only XML file in the www tree which has an DTD is events.dtd, and I must admit that the main reason I made that one was to make Emacs handle tag completion/insertion :-). Therefor I don't think it critical that the new files has DTD/Schema, but of course it would be nice to have the possibility to validate the XML file(s) somehow. Last time I checkked (some time ago) there didn't exist any tool that could validate an XML file againts a schema, which kind of make Schema's more or less useless until such a tool exist IMO. Also I haven't seen any Emacs editor modes that can use schemas, only DTD's... If you make a valid schema for the new page then I don't mind seeing it committed, but I don't think it's worth spending too much time on. --=20 Simon L.
