Note also that this is one of the problems schema languages were =
designed to solve. If you have an XML-based schema language, then all =
that is needed is a parser that parses DTDs and fires SAX events in the =
schema language and you're done.
For most applications, this is an adequate solution. It won't work for =
all applications because: (a) the schema language might not duplicate =
all the capabilities of the DTD and (b) the order in which the schema =
events are fired might not be the same as the order in which the DTD =
declarations occur.
