Validating *.qgs or *.qml against *.dtd

Description

It's not possible to validate a QGIS project or style file against the called *.dtd (http://mrcc.com/qgis.dtd). Two reasons: the URL doesn't exist and using a *.dtd from SVN always returns a "non valid". Having the possibility to validate could decrease erroneous project files. As such it's a feature wish, but as long as QGIS mentions a *.dtd not working, it's a bug.

Changing http://mrcc.com/qgis.dtd to https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/qgis.dtd would at least fix the broken link.
The issue of updating and maintaining the .dtd remains though ...

According to this text:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_type_definition

this dtd declaration with an url is actually optional, so another option would be to remove it from the xml?

#7 Updated by Luigi Pirelli over 8 years ago

we should decide to remove or update... actually the old broken link is used.
