DTD for Kdenlive

[alcinos]

Well, the kdenlive's xml is being parsed by mlt at the core. So all the
structure must be MLT compliant enough for the parsing to be successful :)
Basically, kdenlive stores a lot of additional properties (usually prefixed
by "kdenlive"), that are parsed and ignored by MLT.
Besides, kdenlive abuses a bit the mlt structures to perform some "tricks":
for example, we need to have a fake timeline to store the bin clips,
otherwise the bin clips that are not used in the project wouldn't be saved.
What this means is that even though the file should be "valid" in the sense
that MLT knows how to parse it, there is a high probability that MLT is not
going to playback the project directly.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Nicolas
