Well done for using RELAX NG :) I doubt that my W3C XML Schema
stylesheet will be much use to you.

Yes. You can probably do that all client-side.

Actually, that's a bit that you can probably reuse, since RELAX NG can
use the same set of facets as WXS.

I'm not sure which bits you're referring to, and it's a while since I
wrote it, but I do remember that working through the content model
against an instance document was a particular challenge and I may have
resorted to some "procedural" code to do that. Or perhaps it's just my
style, I don't know. Feel free to email me offlist if you want
rationales for the design of particular pieces of the code.

Cheers,

Jeni
