Nik Clayton 14bbc17601 An XML version of the information in the newsflash page. This will shortly
be the canonical place to add new newsflashes.  XSL stylesheets will handle
converting this to other formats.  The schema is documented at the top of
this file.

<!-- 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>.
