I do believe Mike Hamilton has mentioned that using arbitrary DTDs and
schemas is in the roadmap for the future. I know it won't be useful to me
until they do. However, it just makes me happy to see a company that doesn't
bite off more than it can chew for a first release. I'd rather see them get
something out there, with a few good solid features and add onto it later,
than see them try to be everything to everyone on a 1.0 release and end up
failing miserably.
