House of Representatives using XML

I got notice of this from an article at slashdot:

   http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/07/04/1631254

The relevant URL is http://xml.house.gov/ They are using DTDs, although
there is one interesting file (not shown on the main page):

    http://xml.house.gov/Members/member-schema.xml

which starts off with this:

   <Schema xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
	      xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">

The discussion at slashdot does bring up the (by now notorious)
DTD vs. Schema vs. Relax NG debate.
