The most [...] I think Daniel never changed that line of doc from the beginning on; and I was too chicken shit about changing that line. Apparently there are some glitches which rule out some scenarios. The processor did work nicely for us at that time, but we didn't use the fancy (the weird) parts of the spec, so those areas might be a bit fragile. Don't ask me what that parts where, I don't remember. > Depends on your schemas. If you use things which are relatively > classic, you should be fine, but the Schemas spec has many grey areas. Yes. > <explicit> > Have you tried to *read* it http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/ for me > the structure part is mostly undecipherable jargon, just try to > extract from there the semantic of even a very simple schemas, needless > to say if there is a complex question I can't use the spec to try to > get an answer. Suppose you have a problem how am I supposed to handle [...] LOL, I messed up my english during that period of time. I remember that I had dreams about some lines of text and structure in that spec. I just glimpsed at the spec again.

After those years, I have an urge to code in C again, although I find it ugly and uncomfortable and unproductive and it does hurt a lot in the area where the brain normally resides. I would also like to see my Delphi Wrapper Code again; so if my ex boss Tom is reading this: gimme the code :-) Actually it would help me a lot, because it would serve me as the perfect pool of examples for everything about Libxml2/Libxslt. I'm currently sober, only one petit glass of red wine (yes, yes, good for the heart it turned out to be), so I declare herein officially that I would like to provide support for the XML Schema processor. And yes, I will tell all my girl-friends that I am willing to do so, just to ensure that I won't peek at the escape door (this is not meant literally but just reiterating my own silly tips for getting involved with Libxml2; see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03022.html). Just give me some time to figure out how to compile the library on a Linux box and how to use git :-) By the way: I used Visual Studio five years ago for development; does something comparable (but free) exist by now for Linux or Win? Kind greetings to all the old Libxml2/Libxslt farts - including myself!
