In the past i had tried to get some of this working. After your message, i resurrected that and managed to get a bit further. See: FOR-1172 - enable validation of the internal xml FOR-1173 - add demonstration of using xml source documents without declaring a DTD While rummaging around i also found a relevant old issue: FOR-101 - Move to RelaxNG (with auto generated DTDs for editors) Still need to get XInclude processing done a bit earlier in the sitemaps. -David
