The XML source is not needed, the source schema should be enough.
Currently oXygen uses the result schema to offer the global elements in the content completion proposals in the places where xsl:element can be inserted.


The difficult part IMO is to establish the context, both for XPath expressions (on the source schema) and for content completion (on the result schema). One problem is that in XML Schema the element name and namespace are not enough to identify the context because there can be any number of local elements with the same name but different definitions. The context is formed by the whole path to the root and this is difficult and maybe impossible to find inside a stylesheet. A possible solution will be to present the union of the matching proposals.

Best Regards,
George
