Okay - been playing most of the night - trying to build an XSD for this stuff. I first tried my preferred "one tag" way. This works... but the XSD isn't very detailed. Since you can't define constraints based on attribute values I can't describe some rules I'd like. For example: +) If the type

After ignoring all of Isaac's good advice (sorry) I've decided to stick with a single tag () to describe all data and positional fieldlists. I can't fully explain it... but it definitely feels simpler to me. However the problem of verbosity still exists (for recordsets especially). Consider a re
