Hi, Forget about XSD and validation....Am just trying to decipher the intent from the verbiage / examples on the wiki page...Please bear with me. I think i am getting the point. But just for clarification.
#1: The example on the page says: <filter xpath="//*[wsx:symbol='MSFT']" xmlns:wsx="http://www.webserviceX.NET/";> So you are saying that it is implicitly <filter source="/soap:Envelope" xpath="//*[wsx:symbol='MSFT']" xmlns:wsx="http://www.webserviceX.NET/";> Because you need to run the xpath on something and that something is the soap envelope. Right? #2: If #1 is true, then the syntax on the wiki has an implicit source, but one cannot specify a source explicitly when xpath is specified. Right?

This is not what @source means .. it identifies the data to filter; the "source" for filtration. If @source is missing, the data is the /soap:Envelope element. If its there it can point to any place in the message and then the regex or xpath matches against that node. So your proposal has lost function. Again, I'm -1 to the *principle*: If the language syntax is bust let's fix it. But let's *not* convolute the syntax to make a nice(r) schema.
