The schema Element
The schema element corresponds to the root element defined in a DTD. In a schema, all element elements are child elements of the schema root element. We will discuss the attributes of the schema element in the section on namespaces in this chapter.
NOTE
Technically speaking, the DTD for a schema in the specification does not require that the schema element be the root element. The usual definition of a schema does have a schema element as the root, however.
