Finding the HTML structural representation of the DDI. I just tried looking

it's not easy to find. 

Also, why are there so many "DTD Structure" links on the site that link to 
an .XSD (which is a schema, not a DTD). This page is one of several I found 
with such links: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI/users/dtd/index.html

4) What's missing from the site? What do we not offer that you feel would

A wiki! So the users can create an area to discuss/advertise/show off what 
they've done with DDI.
