>I meant the barfing semantics. Valid was clearly a poor choice of words. This is going to get worse. Perhaps we should use: well-formed: as defined in XML 1.0 (loosely, matching tags etc) valid: as defined in XML 1.0 (loosely, conforms to its own DTD) conforms to XYZ: conforms to the rules of standard XYZ (e.g. XML-Namespace). This may of course be an application-oriented (anti-barfing) standard obeys ABC: conforms to the constraints specified in XSchema ABC These are predicates that can be applied to any XML document including, of course, an XSchema. For an XSchema [document] to be conformant to the XSchema standard if must be well-formed, it must be valid under the XSchema DTD, and it must meet additional constraints described in the text of the XSchema standard. An interesting question: is it an objective to allow all [reasonable] "conformance" rules for an application to be expressed as XSchema constraints? Mike Kay xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
