I support
 1) DSDL languages be formally defined using the XML 1.n profile only
 2) DSDL schemas may also be marked up using some other SGML, but that is
  on the user's head (and to allow us to upgrade to future versions of XML without pain)
 3) DSDL functions should operate on properties that could be in the XML infoset only
   ignoring others that an SGML ESIS may have
 4) DSDL validation may take place on any parsed SGML documents
 5) We should be careful to use XML 1.n when the specific restriction to XML 1.n is
   required but SGML otherwise.
