No. I was looking for something that provided guidelines on:
1. Criteria for identifying a "good" XML definition
2. Guidlines for when to use attributes vs elements
3. How to name things
4. How to plan for schemas ...

etc

Were you refering to something like this:

Interestingly enough, one can find section: "A.10 Optional DTD and schema
representations are subordinate to the ASN.1 specification".

I think we have to raise all the issues that we perceive as important (early
stage => find and prioritize issues (risks)) without being afraid that it
might generate ...
