dtddiff of XML Schema proposal 1999-12-17
Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 18:09:39 -0500 From: "DuCharme, Robert" <DuCharmR@moodys.com> To: xml-dev@ic.ac.uk Subject: dtddiff of new schema proposal
Below is the result of running Earl Hood's dtddiff script to compare the DTD's from appendix B of the November and December drafts of the W3C Schema Proposal. There are obviously a lot more differences than there were between the September and November drafts. Looking through it is still a lot quicker than reading the entire new draft. It will look better displayed in a monospaced font than in a proportionally spaced font.
