I have the knowledge on the RNG side, but I find the DTD stuff
unreadable. I wish we could get the XHTML world beyond DTDs!
Moving on ... this is where I get confused. DTDs have no support for
namespaces. And if I look at the XSD fragment in one of the links you
posted (pasted below), there is no namespace declared.
So how is it given this that these attributes can be namespaced? I'm not
understanding the technical details that would allow, for example, this
to be valid:
<foo:node bar:about="http://ex.net">...</foo:node>
Also, I would think the attributes would allows xsd:anyURI.
