<!-- Simple schema for FreeBSD Project news.
Divide time in to <year>, <month>, and <day> elements, each of which
has a <name>.
each <day> element contains one or more <event> elements.
Each <event> contains an optional <title>, and then a <p>. <p> elements
can contain <a> anchors. Within the "href" attribute of the anchor
$base will be replaced with the base URI necessary to reach the FreeBSD
document root, and should always be used to start URLs at www.FreeBSD.org
or one of the mirrors.
Use the <title> element if the <p> content is lengthy. When generating
synopses of this information (e.g., for syndication using RDF files),
the contents of <title> will be preferred over <p>.
