Thanks Jirka, and the others who responded. Thanks for the two papers from Murata-san which seem somewhat over my head, I'm hoping to be able to extract some parts. My perspective is that of a schema writer or user. >From the list put up so far: Relative simplicity. Co-occurences constraints Interleaving Better modularity (is that subjective Jirka?) Is the datatype library extensibility a feature of XSD too? Are exclusions a part of XSD? (As per SGML exclusions) Schematron extensions are (IMHO) one of the most useful features, but I guess that's not a part of RNG. Whilst I realise RNG is not for all projects, I certainly find it easier than DTD's. David Durand said: The issue of ambiguity is a significant one if one wants to guarantee that one has selected a standard tool which will guarantee that new schemas are unambiguous. I don't profess to understand that. How can an ambiguous grammar be of help? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk ------------------------ Yahoo!
