Section 9.0, Schema, DTD, Data Model, and Valid Examples should only contain the XML Signature Schema Instance and XML Signature DTD material. The RDF Data Model is out of date, so that material should be removed from the section. The examples should also be removed from the section since they are misleading (e.g. including a "null transform"). The recommendation contains suitable examples in other sections. The title of the section should be changed to "Schema and DTD" in the heading and table of contents.
