Thanks very much for the code. In the application I work on, all of the schema
files are available from the file system so http or ftp loading doesn't really
make much difference to me. As long as I can get the external schemas processed
somehow, I'll be happy.

Personally, I would bias towards the file system rather than the network. I
would want my files or cache of network files to take precedence because I
need to have access to and control over the schemas are being used in my
application. Version conflicts are more likely to arise from internal changes
than what the network-based suppliers provide, but I've been burned when a
schema disappeared from the network in the past.

I think this will be very useful; so much so that I'm going to give it a try
right away. ;) There are a number of other developers in my project who are
also interested in this work and would love to use this code. Personally,
I'd like to see process_includes embedded in the generateDS script so that
the imports/includes are processed automatically.
Regards,
Arne
