Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the answer. Maybe you're answering a different question. My (limited) understanding of the Data Model spec is that the complex types of DTDs would be mapped to anonymous types. It seems they must be validated, in order to get at simple types like NMTOKENS? I must be wrong, if there is no type annotation at all. > If RELAX NG wants to define a mapping into our Data Model, that mapping > could produce named types. The XQuery and XSLT Working Groups have not > produced a mapping for RELAX NG. I'm not sure, for complex types, that the named types a mapping could produce would be any more useful than anonymous types. Names are not typically used in that way in RELAX NG. There are other, more fundamental issues. RELAX NG validation is multi-level, e.g., the contents of elements may need to be examined to determine which pattern is valid, and more than one might be. XQuery seems to deal with non-determinism using a "first match" rule for both complex and simple types. There is not even, in RELAX NG, a well-defined notion of "first", as in that language choice represents the commutative union operation. Bob
