RE: Elimination of "extension"

We discussed extensions through DTDs instead of actually having an
"extension" element. As I remember this meant that if someone wanted to
extend the grammar they extended the DTD? Alex, can you elaborate on the
logic of how extensions would work through this mechanism. 

Jim, does this affect the discover for query grammar schema?

Thanks,
Saveen

In section "7.3 DTD", the last thing is a definition
of the "extension" ELEMENT for the "where" condition.
We don't really next this as an extension mechanism
to add query operators in the future. Furthermore, we
want to try to avoid the use of "ANY". So, I propose
we just strike all occurrences of it from the grammar.
We won't lose anything.
