I think I'll continue to kick the >hairball on my own just for 'kicks'. The point I was making was that you have reminded me (and probably others) that we should address the question of how embedded XSchemas are processed. Obviously you (and I and anyone else) can come up with our own solution, but what we are really after is a standard approach that is re-usable. Otherwise you end up doing all your own code maintained when someone else could do it for you (i.e. the community). Assuming you/we are using SAX, an obvious approach would be a handler for XSchema elements. (I hadn't thought of more than one per file, but that's the beauty of XML - it's so versatile. Be warned, however, that people from a purist SGML background may not immediately take to this idea (admittedly they have SUBDOC for this, I think). So in an early implementation I'd put this in startElement(). Later we might have a startXSchema() event. The attraction of that is that it could locally verify against the XSchema spec. And if it returns an XSchema object , that could be queried (e.g. XSchema.getElement(String universalName). If you write your own you will be constantly rehacking every time the core XML specs/ideas change. In any case, I guess that if we solve the single case, the multiple case will be almost trivial. P.
