ANNOUNCE: availability of archy and instance karma

I'm pleased to announce preliminary versions of two things that
should assist in the development of modular XML DTDs: 

 archy:  an XML modular DTD framework
    home page:
      http://www.doctypes.org/archy/home.html
    distribution:
      http://www.doctypes.org/archy/archy.tar.gz

 instance karma:  an XSLT stylesheet that creates a DTD 
                  from a simple XML file
    home page:
      http://www.doctypes.org/instkrma/home.html
    distribution:
      http://www.doctypes.org/archy/instkrma.tar.gz

The former is a generic template based on the XHTML modularization, the 
latter an XSLT stylesheet with the ability to create a 5 minute DTD. 
Documentation is on the home page of each. instance karma produces
a DTD following the same naming conventions as XHTML. Future versions
will support modularization and other features.

These are very preliminary versions (but functional), so please don't 
build an empire around them. Feedback welcome.

Murray

Please note that the doctypes.org site is unfinished and will be 
announced separately.

   But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God,
   how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye 
   desire again to be in bondage?  -- Galatians 4:9
