deprecated XML technologies?

ian
XML is a huge area with so many related technologies, xpath,xsl, etc,
have any been deprecated or replaced with something better? For example,
I believe that DTD's are no longer popular (although my tiny mind has
already forgotten the new sexier way of specifying a schema).
As you can tell, it's not an area I'm overly familar with. I'm looking
at some greenfield projects so I'd rather concentrate on what is
currently considered good practice.

Many thanks.

It is true that XML schemas are meant as a way to have an XML way to
describe the grammar of a class of documents instead of using the DTD
syntax for that. But to say that DTDs are no longer popular goes to far
in my view.

As you are asking in a Microsoft newsgroup I will point out to some
deprecated stuff in terms of support by MSXML and .NET. Before the W3C
specified W3C XML schemas (XSD schemas as described here
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/>) Microsoft had developed and
implemented so called XDR schemas but by now the preferred schema
language is W3C XSD schemas and I think .NET 2.0's new XML parser does
no longer support validation against XDR schemas.

Cheers, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm after.

Hi, Why is the UserDict module is deprecated after Python 2.2. The application of it I have in mind is, i.e. multiple inheritance from "file" and "dic" - which is not possible. If I used UserDict I would not need to specify all methods UserDict provides alreay, anyway. Ciao Uwe

Okay, so my subject sounds a bit crass. As much as I'd like to totally embrace css and avoid "deprecated" usage, sometimes the deprecated stuff is so much easier and more effective. Plus, it at least does what I want it to, while I'm left puzzled trying to make a css implementation do the same thing. Here is a simple example. I want to have four identical-sized images displayed in a two-by-two arrangement, wtih room for a centered...

At http://www.quirksmode.org/js/placejs.html I found a discussion on how & where to place your javascript. Toward the bottom of the page, PPK has a section titled Deprecated: Direct JavaScripts, with a small blurb that says "Do not use direct JavaScripts. This section is only maintained for historical reasons." For clarity, he is referring to a practice like: <script type="text/javascript">
