I've seen other people struggle with this problem. I haven't seen it solved, but I've come to the conclusion that you need to put a lot of effort into tooling, and I strongly suspect you are better off developing your own tools in-house that are designed to your own specific requirements - though I can't say that's based on detailed study of what the market can offer. I have seen an analagous problem solved, of managing hundreds of stylesheets for processing different transactions in an online banking system. This was done by devising a common high-level description of the various screens, and generating the stylesheets from these master definitions, thus ensuring consistency. I believe it should be possible to do the same thing for controlling a large set of message schemas - but I haven't seen an existence proof. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
