>And a *lot* of people are writing apps that read in XML right now today; I wonder how many of them are including an XSD valudation step? -Tim Indeed, not many I would think. Truth is that many developers / teams choose for XML as the communication language between various components of their application which they all write themselves. And why would you use validation in such a case ? You know perfectly well which XML is being generated ... it's not going to change overnight. One side on the app generates and the other side receives (and vice-versa) ... no need for a DTD or XSD. Agreed ?

And a *lot* of people are writing apps >that read in XML right now today; I wonder how many of them are >including an XSD valudation step? -Tim Well for those I've seen where the XML and the validation requirements have not been trivial the app invariably either needs to do some of the validation, or the app needs to have extra logic at the front where XML generation takes place to make sure that the Human Understandable date gets changed into XSDL understandable date, with hopefully some validation code to make sure that the Human Understandable date is an actual date. - obviously date is just one of the examples, other example is changing from currency formats, for example changing 1.006.459,00 to 1,006,459.00 which is something one would most likely want to deal with anyway. Point being that I see quite a lot of this kind of stuff having to be done wherever the data is important and then finally the XSDL gets added in basically checking that structure is right. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
