We may be looking at this from different perspectives - for me, a scalable
DTD/schema is one that takes potential future requirements into account without
causing an excessive negative impact on the current project. This is really a
design consideration and might be made before the decision to use DTDs or schemas
is even settled.

We did it for a suite of 25 DTDs for the Australian Department of Defence CALS
initiative some years ago, but I can't find a link to it - I think their server is
down (possibly not a good thing...). Also, that was SGML. :-)
