It seems that DTDs can't describe data with nearly the same accuracy and that the whole thing is rather clumsy & looks like it was cobbled together out of spare parts. Am I missing something? I'd think that doing anything to mix up Ada and XML ought to go straight to XSL and ignore the existence of DTDs.
