There were several reasons that this DTD was so simple. One is that the
AWML is not that complex. Second, it puts most of its information in
props attributes, which conveniently don't have to be well definined.
Finally, I am sure that I've missed some stuff, especially relating to
fields.
And yes, I would very much appreciate it if you would post this on the web
site. Additionally, all the other AbiWord documentation is available in
HTML form on my website in the same directory, and if you felt like
posting that too, it would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
