Scott,
Neither DTD nor XML:Schema nor relax, we don't use parser validation. All of
the XML semantics are hard-coded in the SAX handlers. There are some DTDs and a
relax schema in libgnucash/doc/xml, but they're for documentation only.
The only way at present to convert between XML and SQL is File>Save As from an
open book. We have it on the long-term todo list to write a more direct
conversion but it hasn't even been started.
Regards,
John Ralls
