I am also pondering eg: attributes to allow elements (an attributes) from other namespaces... > Also, it seems to me that there could be some back-end tie-in with > Schematron: there might be some common API we could nut out in XSLT so that > Schematron and Examplotron schemas can use the same output system: we have > two candidates now, Oliver Becker's architecture used in my Schematron 1.5 > and Miloslav Nic's wrappers in zvonSchematron. Yes, I am convinced that these languages might be tied together. My first thoughts have been to add eg:assert attributes to add Schematron like rules... Unfortunately, since examplotron is performing namespace URIs rewriting, this is not obvious to translate namespace aware XPath paths... and I need to find a solution for this issue. This might be done using a XML XPath serialization, but it would very verbose. Thanks Eric (more than ever convinced that attribute and element values should never have use QNames). > Cheers > Rick Jelliffe > -- Rendez-vous à Paris pour net2001. http://www.mynet2001.net/pgmonline2001/it2.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric van der Vlist Dyomedea http://dyomedea.com http://xmlfr.org http://4xt.org http://ducotede.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------
