The way the JATS DTD is designed it is very easy to customize. The JATS XSD is more difficult to customize. Making customizations in both the DTD and XSD simultaneously is a useful exercise. \r\n\r\nMost people who use JATS are probably using a DTD. There was a survey about this at one of the JATS-Cons."}}
