I think I was the only person wanting XML Schema. Feel free to go with RELAX NG since that seems to work for more current uses.

Just please keep only one format in the repository, and do conversion infra-side. Preferably let's create a new repo for that, and aim at replacing all DTDs (that are still used) with it.

One more question though: is it possible to express key references in RELAX NG? I'm thinking of projects.xml where <subproject ref=''/> should match some other <project><email/></project>.
