Hi!

Sorry for the long delay, both me and Richard (the other maintainer of
MrProject) have been on a three week vacation.

First of all, I'm very glad that you guys are positive on sharing DTD
with us. This will benefit everyone involved, I'm sure of it.

We haven't given it much thoughts expect acknowledged that we might in
the future would like to be able to create links between different
projects. Sharing resource pools between different projects seems like
a nice feature and we are interested on develop these thoughts
further.

No this is 'type' attribute of the relation element.

  <!ELEMENT relation EMPTY>
    <!ATTLIST relation taskid CDATA #REQUIRED>  
    <!ATTLIST relation type CDATA #REQUIRED>
