Welcome to Orcmid's Lair, the playground for family connections, pastimes, and scholarly vocation -- the collected professional and recreational work of Dennis E. Hamilton

 
Caveat Lector: Valid != Right.  I think Dorothea may be feeling better.  Here's a lovely rant on the difference between having a valid XML and having the document be "right."  A number of useful distinctions are introduced (and some examples of non-useful practices).

There is a discussion of EAD but the link doesn't work at the moment.  This reports on an unsuccessful effort to use a common process across some heterogeneous implementations of the same DTD.  I suspect that Dorothea's suspicions are correct since, as far as I can tell, if you simply used Dublin Core attributes, the assurance of interoperability is only slightly better than the existence of the proverbial snowball.
