Hi Geert,
The platform where I am working is based on X* and I have very
limited options 
to use Java or any other language...except XSLT. 

I did look
at Trang, looks promising.. but that could an option if nothing else 
works
out.
thank you
Densil

Subject: Re:  reg XSD generation using XSL

why
would you want to do that with XSLT?

use trang for a first stab at it
http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html
you can develop some XSLT
logic to twiddle the output of that to your 
convenience
be prepared to do
some manual stuff as well

e.g. inbound xml <?xml

cat="music">     <cd country="RSA">    
>     <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
<artist>Bob Dylan</artist>         
><price>10.90</price>     </cd>     <dd
county="UK">         <title1>Hide your 
>heart 4</title1>
<artist1>Bonnie Tyler</artist1>         
><price2>9.90</price2>     </dd>
<dc county="UK">         <title2>Hide your 
>heart 4</title2>
<artist2>Bonnie Tyler</artist2>
