It'll be great to fix dtd to follow our requirements, but there is a problem: if we change dtd like this: <!ELEMENT pkgmetadata ( herd+, (maintainer|longdescription|use|upstream)* )> we will force all metadata.xml files have strict order of tags: first <herd/> then other tags. Currently there are about 200 ebuilds with different order http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279206#c4 . Hans's suggestion http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279206#c7 works but it is not nice and prohibits another order: herd, other tags, herd. Personally I'd kept dtd simple and forced ordering. So actually two questions here: 1. How should we fix dtd? 2. Are there any problems if we fix dtd first and let maintainers fix metadata.xml on bumps (iow, what will became broken if metadata.xml became not valid)? -- Peter.
