I think XML Schema is the usual schema language for this sort of files. I would have been happy to use Relax-NG, but it is less popular, and the number of validators is smaller. In fact, Relax-NG allows one to express that filterList is only valid with the mime attribute value "application/pdf", etc. In my version fonts is optional. xml-handler does not occur. What does your config file contain? Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.eu
