"The RELAX NG specifications have been developed within OASIS by the RELAX NG Technical Committeee. RELAX NG is being developed into an International Standard (ISO/IEC 19757-2) by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34/WG1; it is currently at the final stage of standardization." But afaik it is not directly related to the w3c in some way, but beeing an OASIS standard and becoming an ISO standard should make it usable for us. I personally like the format for its simplicity, but could also live with XML-Schema. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Med vennlig hilsen Kore Nordmann (GPG: 0xDDC70BBB) eZ Components Developer eZ systems Headquaters tel +49 (0) 231-9742-7750 | fax +49 (0) 231-9742-7751 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | eZ systems | ez.no
