I'd take a look at the test suite for XML::Toolkit and PRANG. I know the first one does dynamic schema detection and then document loading at runtime as part of the test suite to make sure that it can round trip XML documents so that they're equivalent. Again you lose static Validation this way (unless you adopt another of the solutions in this thread for dynamically detecting the schema-version at runtime), but it does exactly what you describe here :) -Chris
