Schema is where it's at for defining XML structure.
DTDs had a use a few years back.
I make my first cut at a schema by using "exchanger xml", then I re-write the schema to make sure the XML must start with the correct node, and the optional attributes are actually optional. There is no magic tool to making a great schema. But once you have a great schema, converting it to a dtd is very simple, just discarding almost everything of importance about the XML structure!
