(Cut and paste answer) You can use the Schematron open source schema language, which is specifically aimed for the 1001 non-regular constraints that real data requires. Off the top of my head, the appropriate schema would look something like this: <sch:schema xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron"> <pattern> <rule context="/*"> <assert test="/X">The document should start with an X element.</assert> </rule> </pattern> Schematron home page at http://www.ascc.net/xml/resource/schematron/schematron.html Rick Jelliffe *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
