Hi all,

So, I'm trying to understand how people are storing XML DTDs these days. In
particular:

a) Are people using DTDs, or moving to Schemas/XML-Data, or whatever that's called?

b) What do we call these anyway?
- vocabularies
- schemas
- naming schemes
- document definitions

c) Is it considered "good policy" to post a description in both DTD & Schema
format? Or if we want broad usage, should we just use DTD?

d) Are there any formal or informal naming conventions for where to store these?
e.g.:
xml.drernie.com/schemas
www.drernie.com/xml/dtds

What is best practice? I tried looking at places like
msdn.microsoft.com/xml, but only got more confused...

Thanks,
