In pursuit of its goal of improving on XML 1.0 DTDs, the one public draft available so far specifies many new features, and the design of these features is bound to change as the spec evolves toward Recommendation status. XML 1.0 DTD syntax is a stable standard that, considering its roots in SGML, has been used and implemented for years, and that is a huge advantage. >Anything XML Schema just doesn't do right? Discussion of these issues is what drives the revisions that will happen between now and Recommendation status. The archives of the public discussion are at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/. >Besides, when XML Schema rules, will DTD be migrated to XML Schema smoothly? As far as I can tell, the W3C XML Schema proposal includes all the features of XML 1.0 DTDs, so it should be possible to automate migration of DTDs. Whether W3C XML Schemas completely replace XML 1.0 DTDs after the Schema proposal becomes a Recommendation is a tougher question.
