I want other validation types than xml schema (wait a second here, OpenOffice must have the ability to do not just doctype but RelaxNG validation on documents right?) Schematron might be a requested validation type. 3. I want to ignore validation errors when working on a document, but with the new validation it won't let me import until it is valid. 4. I am importing a valid document into a valid document, but this creates a non-valid document, what do I do. I mean just thinking about it one could see a large number of complaints, issues, wants coming up from introduction of validation. Therefore I would assume that adding validation should be considered carefully. I don't think that anyone will be satisfied with a simple yes/no validate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
