That is not good advice, the SGML DTD mechanism is even more grossly defective.
No comment, but I didn't say "use DTDs".
The solution in this case is to propose an alternative schema mechanism.
People speak highly of relax.
Use Relax NG.
It is an issue but not a major one, certainly XML Schema is broken
and should be fixed
Can't be fixed, from what I know. I do think it is a major issue.
but the solution is not to bar its use, that is predjudice masquerading as
architecture.
The banning suggestion was ha-ha-only-serious, but it would not be
prejudice. It would be discrimination, in the best sense of the word.
