I recommend that for each major release of OSIS, that automagic
utilities be used to also generate a corresponding DTD. Why? Because
there's not much XML software out there that handles Schemas (e.g., my
preferred environment -- emacs psgml mode -- does not). Until there's
better general schema suppport in software generally, having a DTD can
help OSIS be used more broadly.
I recognize there may be content model problems, and that the DTD
might have to be tweaked after generation. That's why I don't suggest
it be done for every point release, but certainly for the main releases.
