Yimin Zhu, Actually, the namespace declaration does not point to a validating schema, though it appears to. In section 2 of the "Namespaces in XML" recommendation, in regards to the namespace name ("x-schema:bookschema.xml" in your example) it states "It is not a goal that it be directly usable for retrieval of a schema (if any exists)." See http://www.w3.org/tr/rec-xml-names. That stated, I won't be surprised if this behavior changes. Some sources show runtime validation happening in a DOCTYPE declaration, but it remains to be seen, as XML Schema is still in working draft and shrink-wrapped validators are out a ways. E.g., <!DOCTYPE bookschema SYSTEM "bookschema.xsd">. Check out http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema for some links to current work on schema validators.

Subject: XML validation It seems that in order to validate an XML file against a schema the location of a schema file has to be included in the XML file, i.e. <book xmlns="x-schema:bookschema.xml">...</book>. Are there any other ways to do XML validation at runtime? Yimin Zhu Timberline Software Corp.
