LC-210 making DTD for schemas non-normative

Dear David:

The W3C XML Schema Working Group has spent the last several months
working through the comments received from the public on the last-call
draft of the XML Schema specification.  We thank you for the comments
you made on our specification during our last-call comment period, and
want to make sure you know that all comments received during the
last-call comment period have been recorded in our last-call issues
list (http://www.w3.org/2000/05/12-xmlschema-lcissues).

Among other issues, you raised the point registered as issue LC-210,
which suggests that the DTD for schemas be made non-normative.

As you know, after discussion the WG agreed with the proposal, and
the DTD for schemas has in fact been made non-normative in the
most recent versions of XML Schema.

It would be helpful to us to know whether you are satisfied with the
decision taken by the WG on this issue, or wish your dissent from the
WG's decision to be recorded for consideration by the Director of
the W3C.

with best regards,

-C. M. Sperberg-McQueen

  Co-chair, W3C XML Schema WG
