XSD also knows fixed values, which would be more useful, because I'd like a 
TCDL be readable on its own, i.e. those values should be in the TCDL file 
without parsing the schema.

Then we get an ID that contains "$RCSfile", a colon and a space, none of 
which are useful in an ID. Hmm.
An important reason for using $Revision$ is that we don't need to update 
the version number each time we edit a TCDL file. The ID, however, does not 
change with revisions, so there's no pressing need to use CVS tricks here.

Any other thoughts?

Best regards,

Christophe
