Tags do not inherently mean anything in XML. Only a specific XML-based
format definition gives them meaning, and there is no way for either a
doctype definition or an XML Schema to say “elements named X
definitely contain file names”. The closest is XML Schema’s anyURI
datatype, but it might refer not necessarily to a local file but
possibly to any other URI-addressed resource.
