For part of our work we had to find the diffs between the April and 
Sept versions of the DTDs for XML Schema. This may be of interest to 
others so I am posting it. No guarantees of course, and if you spot 
any errors please let me know!

All the parameter entities have been expanded for this comparison, 
and ATTLISTs merged. (If anyone wants an expanded XML Schema DTD in 
alphabetical order, I could post that also.)
