Hello world, This afternoon (well, local afternoon anyway), I published an XML Schema version of DocBook V5.1CR3:
http://docbook.org/xsd/5.1CR3/ I assert that it's a valid XSD. Because Saxon EE said so. It passed a smoke test on a few DocBook documents, but is surely buggy. It is also considerably more liberal than the normative DocBook schemas. I don't expect it to reject any valid DocBook documents, but it is by no means guaranteed that passing the XSD test means your document is valid. Interesting open question: how many of these XSD validation infilicities could be tested with XSD 1.1 xs:assert statements? Share and enjoy. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <[email protected]> | If you put tomfoolery into a http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | computer, nothing comes out of it Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | but tomfoolery. But this | tomfoolery, having passed through | a very expensive machine, is | somehow enobled and no-one dares | criticize it.--Pierre Gallois
