Re: [Triplea-develop] DTD vs. XML Schema

[Sean B. <sbr...@ya...>]

One downside to switching is that all the game xml
files would have to change.  Each file now has,

<!DOCTYPE game SYSTEM "game.dtd">

If we start using schema, we would have to change the
files and all mods, or support both schema and dtd.

What are the advantages you see to xml schema.  I know
an xml schema can specify more restrictions than a
dtd, but I find them to be very verbose, and much
harder to read than dtd's.
