I guess I should explain that bit... - agile development is fashionable, and one of its essentials is automated testing, typically unit tests - xml schema is not fashionable, and schema-awareness will never get a mention because all of the agile related material out there is for other languages. Those people teaching agile will always use unit tests as the way to reduce errors. None of the agile evangelists will know about result validation, so it won't get a mention as a suitable technique, even though for XSLT its arguably the first thing to do. > I'm all for testing it in as many ways as possible for the least effort > and the maximum confidence in the result.
