Re: new DTD and XSD for v2.1c

Sam,

Thanks! It is interesting to note that XML Instance reports
an error given that I generated the XML with XML Authority;-)
I did add the xmlns attribute by hand though;-)

I'll add the xmlns attribute with the default value to the
DTD. On a related note, we should seriously consider a namespace
prefix (such as eb:...) which would change the DTD considerably
because all of the scoped elements/attributes would need to
be explicitly tagged in the DTD.

Cheers,

Chris
