[Discuss] Open Hardware defintion and eagle files

[Andrew Plumb]

Bare in mind that the eagle.dtd is not required to "decode" the schematic or layout XML files, only "validate" them as per what the Eagle tools expect. XML is nice & generic that way.

The file is a useful reference, but good catch on the terms that make it undesirable to use directly in FOSS EDA options.
