I just got around to cleaning up the DTD, and not wanting to deal with
installing Java on my Linux box, I found this XML validating web page:
http://www.stg.brown.edu/service/xmlvalid/
It works quite nicely -- it even found an ambiguity. I've now updated
the pages and fixed where the dtd points, etc. Thanks for your feedback.

So this would have to be something like CDInfo-0.1.dtd? Or is there
another way of doing this?

Yes, for right now I want to keep it simple. Many people have thrown
out many pieces of information that they would like to track in the CD
Index. However, I've been reluctant to just add in little bits and
pieces here in there, in lieu of a comprehensive design. (Especially
give my level of XML experience) I feel that I've got a better grasp on
XML now that I've made some changes and updated the DTD.
Once we achieve feature parity with CDDB and we have more widespread
community support, I'd be glad to add more data to the system, and
evetually shoot to be as cool as the internet movie database.

Indeed -- see above. :-)

Well, if you come to find some spare time, I would love to have you
help out. Thanks for pointing out the problems in my DTD.
