That's untrue. Typically the XSL tags in an XSL document are prefixed with the XSL namespace (which is one of the few namespaces which has a default uri) -- that being the case, <xsl:template> is validated against the schema for the the xsl namespace, whereas other tags in the document may be unvalidated or validated against any other schema or DTD based on their respective namespace URI's. In all likelyhood the schema for XSL uses a lot of "any-tag" references, although I have seen the XSLT engine provided with CF6/7 spit back the error "xsl:template is not allowed at this position in the document" or the like, and offhand I'm not certain how they would make that work with XSD if the containing tag has "any-tag" declared for its children. Of course, the attributes would be validated against the URI for each tag without any problems. Hence you get errors that say "namespace 'blah' is uneclared" or somesuch if you omit an alternate namespace from an XSL sheet that contains tags using that namespace and then try to perform a transformation. .... It seems strange to me that a doctype would not allow specification of an XSD instead of a DTD -- I don't understand why that would be the case, it doesn't make any sense to me... Though iirc I think CF7 also automatically validates against namespace URI's if they resolve to valid DTD's/XSD's now that think about it. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
