[xquery-talk] DTD Namespaces?

[Ronald Bourret]

For a discussion about how to use namespaces with DTDs and what some of 
the potential pitfalls are, see:

    http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/NamespacesFAQ.htm#s7

One question about DTDs and XQuery:

If you include a DTD in a document being queried by an XQuery processor, 
does this provide any typing information? My guess is that it does not, 
as the typing information comes from the PSVI and I don't believe 
anybody has ever specified how to construct a PSVI from a document + DTD.
