  This is an XML DTD for writing Frequently Asked Questions FAQs.
  QAML Version 2.X created February 1999 
        by Justin Higgins (jhiggins@dn.net)
                www.faq.org
        and Rick Jelliffe (ricko@gate.sinica.edu.tw)  
                www.ascc.net/xml/
         
  It is based on the QAML 1.0 DTD, with minimal alterations
  for XML, I18N (internationalization), XLL hypertext linking,
  style, accessability and tracking.         
  
  * XML: Documents written using the QAML 1.0 DTD
    are structurally compatible with this DTD; however, such
    documents need to be converted into "well-formed" XML:
    make sure they are fully tagged with start-end tags for
    every element. If you are not using 7-bit ACSCII or
    UTF-8, specify the appropriate XML encoding header. If you are
    not using English, specify the appropriate xml:lang language 
    attributes. Use lower-case element type names.
   
  * I18N: All elements with data content, and the top element,
    may have a language attribute. People may have alternative names
    in different scripts: e.g., a Chinese name and an English
    name.  
  
  * XLink: All elements may have an ID attribute. A fixed xml:link
   attribute has been added to link and archive, for housekeeping. 
   Note that the xml:show attribute is available in this DTD, but 
   may not be available at the user's system. The following
   link roles are defined by this DTD, but you can add your own:   
        "Text", "Image", "Sound", "Software", "Data", "Interactive"
        are the base Dublin Core categories for the resource types.
   The element types body, section and qna can also have a link, which
   links to an (Image or Sound) logo for the element, using the attribute
   logo, which is a kind of href: the link role is predefined as "Logo".
        
  * Style: An element "span" is introduced with the same use as in HTML. 
    All elements have a class attribute, which may help better
    processing in CSS. The following classes are defined by this DTD,
    but you can add your own:
        For p elements: "li" and "pre", with the HTML meanings;
        For span elements: "tt" and "emph", with the HTML meanings;
        For p and span elements: "sent", with the JSML meaning 
                (a sentence); 
        For the span element: "literal" with the JSML meaning
                (to be spelled out as letters)-this helps WAI too;
        For the span element: "abbr" and "acronym" are also available,
                (an acronym is pronouncable: NASA), roughly from HTML
                
    Note: if you use class="pre", also specify xml:space="preserve" 
    to inhibit the stripping of white space by the XML processor.
    If you are attempting "ASCII art", use
        <p class="pre" xml:space="preserve" alt="explanatory text">...
    where the alt attribute holds some explanatory text.
    
    Please note that you should not rely on format effects 
    (font, boldness) to convey meaning in these FAQs. The output
    system of the user may not support them.
    
  * Accessability: QAML has been checked against the W3C WAI guidelines;
    the link, p & span elements can have an "title" attribute.
    The span element can have a class="literal", for contractions to be
    spoken out in individual letters, "abbr" for an abbreviations,
    and "acronym" for acronyms. The latter two may be marked up with
    title attribute for better pronunciation. 
    Refer /www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH/
   
  * Dublin Core: The mappings to Dublin Core metadata are noted.
    The Dublin Core type for FAQs is "faq".
 
  * Tracking: A data attribute has been added to various elements. 
    Use an ISO 8601 format date: yyyy-mm-dd or yyyymmdd.
