Holy fuck, DTD is ugly

How they even manage to write down the specification without vomiting, realizing what a monster they had created, and killing themselves is a mystery.

And why they tried to fit a DSL that doesn't have even the slightest semblance to SGML inside SGML is anyone's guess, but probably for the same perverse and stupid reasons people make self-hosting BASIC compilers.

I just needed to get that of my chest. We now return to the regularly scheduled SPAM.

What the fuck is with all the acronyms.

XML leverages core database functions and world-class app synergy to provide clients worldwide with robust, scalable, modern turnkey implementations of flexible, personalized, cutting-edge Internet-enabled e-business application product suite e-solution architectures that accelerate response to customer and real-world market demands and reliably adapt to evolving technology needs, seamlessly and efficiently integrating and synchronizing with their existing legacy infrastructure, enhancing the e-readiness capabilities of their e-commerce production environments across the enterprise while giving them a critical competitive advantage and taking them to the next level.

I think many people share OPs sentiments to some degree.

I like DTDs because they're an admission of failure. XML is so shit it's not even fit to write XML specifications in.
Anyway, there are a number of other schema languages you could use.

If those four acronyms already cause your brain to overload, programming is not for you.

DSL means Damn Small Linux.
