I think this is a really nice usage of XSchema and no different from most other XSchema applications -- the deciding factor is that the application gathers schema information at run time, rather than having it hard-coded. In general, the code that does this shouldn't care if the schema information changes half-way through the file. So by all means, continue to play. It will give us more concrete data about implementing XSchema and perhaps open some new ground for 2.0. I would also point out that, not only is this idea useful for validation, it is also useful for building database storage structures on the fly. As I mentioned before, we are unlikely to address this in 1.0, but I would suggest the following (non-guaranteed) semantics for forward compatibility: 1) The XSchema applies to everything following it until the next XSchema is hit. 2) Each XSchema completely replaces the previous XSchema. -- Ron Bourret xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
