So I have an XML document which defines the expected semantics of the XML output of an SGML-to-XML conversion project as an exemplar; there are structures like this, and like these, and like that. I also have a whole bunch of XML output which ought to conform to that semantics. (This output is the product of a complex, multi-pass, highly conditional set of XSLT transforms.) The desired goal is to be able to programmatically pull the structure, at least to the extent of parent-child element pairs, from the semantics-defining file, and compare that to each output file in turn. So if the semantics-defining file gives an example section element, which has num, para, and subsection element children, what I want to be able to do is create a sequence of axis relationships and test the section elements of the output for axis relationships that are not members of that sequence. I'm nearly certain I can't do that, but thought it was much wiser to ask and allow for the possibility of a pleasant surprise. -- Graydon
