Yes, this is correct. > The ASModel implementation in Xerces seems only just started. Yes, in Xerces we've only implemented a small portion of AS specification that allows preloading of XML Schemas. The reason, we have not started to implement AS-EDIT part is because we feel that AS model specification is not stable yet. Plus, at the moment we are more interested in exposing a read-only XML Schema components, to provide complete PSVI information. We plan to start working on implementing read-only access to schema components next month. > If so, there is the > possibility that we could contribute to the completion of the > implementation. People are always welcome to contribute! :) In this case, however, we definitely need to work together, since this implementation will involve changes to DOM and XML Schema/DTD implementations. We are still not sure whether we need to modify the core dom implementation or we can extend it and implement Abstract Schemas in a different package (available by option). Are you interested in read-only or read/write access? Have you started analyzing Xerces code?
