Hmm ... I'm not sure I understand your terms. May I make this
discussion a little more concrete by giving an example?
I am working on a system concept for technical information
(documents, objects, ...). Briefly: files at specified locations
would be scanned for a set of specified attributes, which would be
pulled into an RDBMS server for querying (via HTML forms). As an
example of a marked-up technical document, I have a sample failure
analysis report with some special tags in it at:
http://epims1.gsfc.nasa.gov/fa/fa.html
Part of the concept is to have a sort of "family" of DTD's for
technical documents, all of which would include the HTML tag set
as a subset. I have not done any DTD's yet. Details of this
particular example may be naive ... comments?
