I'm afraid I can't help out much more, here (you're problem goes beyond my meager capabilities). But if you haven't tried xsdtorngconverter, it may be worth a shot: http://code.google.com/p/xsdtorngconverter/
I cannot vouch that it works well, but I tried it on the snippet of XSD you posted, and the resulting RELAX NG looked quite reasonable. (And quite easy to change to do what you want.) > I apologize if I posted to the wrong list. Anyway, thanks for your help. > The schematron rule appears to be working, however, here's my scenario. > I have an XSD written already and don't have the time to convert it to > Schematron or relax-NG.
