RE:  RELAX NG equivalent of <xsd:any processContents="lax">?

I probably didn’t make my point clear: I do not want to enumerate all excepted patterns.  If I have to except all patterns I don’t want validated against the anyElement definition, then every time I had new pattern to the schema, then I have to remember to add a new exception…

 

But what if the anyElement (with <except> clause) is in a schema I don’t control?  If I modify my base schema by adding new elements to it, then those elements will not be validated by anyElement (as they would be for <any processContent=”lax”> in XSD).  There doesn’t seem to be a way to automatically exclude definitions by wildcard.

Hello Jeff,

Try using <except> with <anyName> to eliminate the elements for which you want to provide definitions and avoid ambiguity and conflicts. This way you can tell the processor "don't bother with any of these, except the ones for which I have provided definitions". This is lax.

Compact syntax:

 

start = anyElement

anyElement =

  element * {

    (attribute * { text }

     | text

     | anyElement)*

  }

 

This validates an element of any name with an attribute of any name with content of same.  I'm no RNG expert, but I've tried this and one problem is that this definition conflicts with element definitions already defined that have ID/IDREF's (I get an error when parsing with Jing).  I don't have time right now to give a complete example, but I'm thinking (perhaps wrongly) that the above definition will not restrict content for those elements already defined, so it's more like processContent="skip" than "lax".

For lax validation in RELAX NG you could take a look at the RELAX NG Tutorial by James Clark and Murata Makoto. Section 11 (Name Classes) handles this issue.

This has got to be a FAQ, but no luck with googling:

Trying to find a shorthand method to validate content using lax
constraints in RELAX NG.  I want something like this:

#=================
namespace foo = "http://www.w3.org/foo"

qux =
    element baz {empty}     # some element

bar =
    element bar { anyLax* }  #allow baz, bar, anyOtherElement

anyOtherElement =
  element * - foo:*  {        # any elements not in this namespace
    attribute * { text }*,
     (text
     | anyOtherElement)*
  }

anyLax = (
        grammar {*}             #all patterns
        )*

#===========

Don't work, though.

Only examples I've seen enumerate all the grammars by name in the
schema. Doesn't appear there is wildcard of that type.
