jboss-web.xml does support a depends element.

jboss-app.xml does not support depends because its not a component deployment. Its more of a packing notion. Anything needing a dependency in an ear would have its own depends support in its descriptor.

In terms of dtd vs schema, everything should be moved to schemas.

In general the need for depends is a hack around not having proper dependency associated by the component deployer. If I reference a jndi resource, a dependency on the provider of that binding should be created by the container that resolves the reference. ejb3 has started doing this for injections.
