I'm also curious why the HTML WG should care, since (X)HTML has
only DTDs (currently three of them) for which there's already
a standard association technique:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
        '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN'
        'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd'>

Seems to me that the best compromise is to stick exclusively to what
is already accepted -- ruling out schemas.
