Adding yet another angle: Bruno has implemented its own XML grammar specification language for guided authoring and lay-out specification in Pollo (http://pollo.sf.net/). One of the neat tricks is that it offers XPath-lookups for specifying the list of possible value for an attribute - i.e. when specifying the component 'type' attribute (<map:generate type='xxx'/>), that value can be made dependent on the names of the components defined in the sitemap. These grammars are only editing-time guidance, however - Pollo also has an explicit validation function, that uses the Sun MSV libraries, i.e. DTD/XSD/RELAXNG validation - so it would support both the aforementioned DTD, and the XSD from Konstantin. </Steven> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
