RE: XSL lint?

There is already a RELAX-NG schema for XSLT at

http://thaiopensource.com/relaxng/xslt.rng

However, for the "error" quoted;

<xsl-value-of ...> rather than <xsl:value-of ...>

I don't think it would complain - it would simply
treat the xsl-value-of as a literal result element.

(presumably the above example was produced with a tool that
managed the tags for you, e.g. added closing tags,
otherwise a well-formedness error would be likely)

Michael
