At S.W.I.F.T., we are reviewing our approach at developing Message Standards ; the new paradigm is based on modelling (using UML) , and we transform class diagrams modelling the messages to DTDs (today) and to Schema's (to morrow). Our conversion rules can be found on http://www.swift.com (go to the 'Products & Services' page. You'll find our document as a .pdf: swiftML). I'll be very interested to get some feedback on our approach.
