Many packages support rng validation (I think even Xerces has an extension that uses MSV?) Sun's Multi-Schema Validator, MSV ( https://msv.dev.java.net/), has a stand-alone validation tool, and as a stand-alone library it is used by some parsers, at least Woodstox (http://woodstox.codehaus.org). Validating against RNG is as easy as against w3c schema, when using stax parser (stax api is part of java 6), see: http://www.cowtowncoder.com/blog/archives/2007/11/entry_53.html So if you ever want to validate natively against relax ng schema, it's not very hard to do either. -+ Tatu +- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
