this is a Xalan question, ask on a Xalan list......but honestly use the
thing that says Xalan C++ .....

You may also find RELAXNG to your liking, though support is thin with
respect to C++

you will find that XML Schema will do everything that you need, I would
suggest getting your hands on any of the editors that are out there for XML
( xmlspy, or goto www.perfectxml.com there is a bit o stuf there )

more xalan questions ? no wonder no  one answered
since Xalan uses Xerces-C++  yes it supports XML Schema

sounds like you will be chaining things together and piping the output of
one transform into another.....

I think that you would be better served downloading instant saxon from
saxon.sourceforge.net

play around with this a little bit....also you know that IE has XSLT
processor and XML Schema built in, it also has an executable option.....

you really should play around a little before trying to create a production
environment, XSLT all by its lonesome may not fulfill your requirements...

good luck, jim fuller
