Presently, the XML Schema DTD is not normative and its usage optional. At the same time, the Schema for Schemas, which is normative, is dependent on the DTD for the definition of a number of default values for attributes (#FIXED attributes in the DTD), which means an implementation cannot in fact not use the XML Schema DTD. The schema for schemas should be self contained (even if valid relative to the DTD), and the Schema for Schemas itself should not contain any declarations that would change the content of an XML Schema (including itself) such as default values for attributes.
