I'd prefer not to see something that is tightly coupled with a particular schema dialect, though -- even one that has the blessing of the W3C. That's why I proposed the RDDL-inspired interface I mentioned in an earlier post for locating schemas. I'd prefer a more generalized SAX property/feature for enabling schema validation, as well. Perhaps a SAX property who's value can be set to the XML namespace of the schema dialect to use. Of course, it would be even better to see validators implemented as SAX filters, so the programmer can exercise more control. The only one I've seen implemented this way is James Clark's RELAX NG validator, though I haven't attempted an exhaustive survey. I'd be interested in hearing how other folks are dealing with this. Am I the only one who is uncomfortable relying upon the "schemaLocation" attribute on the root element? What about other schema dialects? RELAX NG does not even define an equivalent of the "schemaLocation" attribute, so some sort of more generalized mechanism seems to me to be needed. Of course, if validators and other schema processors supported RDDL, this would be less of an issue. Is anyone working on that?
