Yes. Just yesterday I've restarted to work on the document and to transform the DTD to an XML Schema. ;-) A work-in-progress version is at http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/nmrg/draft-irtf-nmrg-smi-xml-01.txt. I send you this message just to let you know about this effort. The contained XML Schema is far from being complete and cleaned up.
I've made an attempt to replace your example's header by something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?> <smi xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="smi.xsd">
and to check it with Xerces. I recognized a number of reported errors. But this may be due to errors in the Schema. I'll take a closer look later on.
