Where can I see the DTD for reporting, or perhaps example usability reports?

(I know examples float in this mailing list, but for recordkeeping's 
sake, a response to this e-mail including a web site pointer or an 
example report would do.  So people searching  Google or their mailing 
list archives can get a quick response if they look for "usability 
report example" or "usability report DTD")

luck!
