no, the "patient record" is an instance of the Clinical Document 
Architecture (ANSI/HL7 CDA R1.0-2000). The CDA DTD is the levelone_1.0.dtd 
which uses header_1.0.dtd and v3dt_1.0.dtd. (The reg message uses 
CDS-sample-reg-v3.xml and v3dt_1.0.dtd).

Hope that clears up any confusion.

Later today, Jon Farmer and/or Martin Rose from Care Data will be posting a 
new set of instances that use a consistent set of patient data. These will, 
of course, use the same DTDs that you have now, but we should use the new 
sample data in the demo.
