    <annotation>
        <documentation>
            This schema describes MAML, the Microsoft Assistance Markup Language.
            MAML is intended for software documentation. In particular, it is 
            intended to accomodate the needs of Microsoft documentation.
        </documentation>
        <documentation>
            The schema is broken into three main areas: end user, developer and
            IT Pro. These areas adequaltely categorize Microsoft
            documentation.
        </documentation>
        <documentation>
         The namespace uri for this version of Maml is: http://ddue.schemas.microsoft.com/authoring/2003/5.
         Each backwards-incompatible revision to Maml will require that the date fields be appropriately
         incremented in uri of the updated version of the Maml schema.
