If so, I > have couple of questions: Actually in the *short* term, i merely wish to read them! i would like to be able to use the element descriptions to populate a data entry UI. The idea being that if the schema changes, then the data input code would change automagically. this would dramatically lower maintenance costs. after the presentation portion of the UI works, then i want to be able to validate the user input, so i'd then have to read the schema at an increasingly sophisticated level. > 1. What schema types you want to be able to modify: DTDs, XML Schemas? XML Schemas. the project i am working on is concerned with MPEG7, which is XMLSchema based. > 2.

A platform independent replacement for XMLSpy. but, that's not an immediate concern for me. > 3.
