The doc refers to a non-existent DTD file which is supposed to
describe the XML target description annex.  I assumed it was obsolete.

It's not clear whether this is the same annex referenced in target.c.

I'd be happy to.  It's not easy to create patches when it's
unclear whether the doc is out of date or the source hasn't
