ian, tnx for pointing this product out to me. it's pretty nice.
however, this exercise is turning out to be a fabulous example of the pains of being an 'early adopter' :-) xmlsqc supports the latest XMLSchema spec (2001) and xerces 131 supports 2000/10 :-) running the xerces sample xsd generates the following error: C:\XMLSQC>SQC c:\xerces-1_3_1\data\personal.xsd Initializing Schema Quality Checker. Please wait ... SchemaQualityChecker has been initialized PROCESSING c:\xerces-1_3_1\data\personal.xsd time : 2001-05-15T10:39:12 ... c:\xerces-1_3_1\data\personal.xsd (file 1 of 1) now being read ...

No checking can be performed on this s chema. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ end time = 2001-05-15T10:39:12 the next obvious hack is to simply change the schema reference from: <schema xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema'> to <schema xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'> and then sad and unhappy things happen: C:\XMLSQC>SQC c:\xerces-1_3_1\data\personal.xsd Initializing Schema Quality Checker.

However, "person" is defined right here i n this schema document. You should declare a target namespace and define a name space prefix for it. this error gets repeated for each definition. i wont waste the bandwidth to report them all. can i fix the sample so that it conforms to 2001? but if i do that then it wont work with xerces 131, right? is xerces 1.4 going to support 2001? or will it be deferred to a later release? tnx for any clarification you can provide! i know that i have a lot of stuff in here.....
