BonXai: Combining the simplicity of DTD with the expressiveness of XML Schema
Summary: BonXai: pattern-based XML schema combining DTD simplicity with most XSD expressivity by replacing explicit types with context patterns. Formal model plus translations to/from XSD, intended as a practical DTD-like front-end for designers who avoid explicit typing. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
