Chris,
You may want to look into the XEDI 'approach' which has been developed by
XML Solutions in McLean, VA. The XEDI approach takes the ANSI & EDIFACT
messages from the various versions and converted them into XML messages for
each EDI message. They are at www.xmls.com <http://www.xmls.com>
Thanks

My understanding is that there are a couple of data mapping vendors with
products that map X12 to XML, but that there is no published, or standard,
DTD for the representation of X12 in XML. My further (mis?) understanding
is that the ANSI X12 group is working on this, and so far the representation
presented by XML Solutions is currently most favored by the community.
This is what I have gathered from poking around on the web - anybody with
direct experience *please* chime in on this. We have an earnest need to
convert files between XML and X12 as well.

Could someone point me to URL where I can find XML DTD's for the EDI X12
doc, if there is any ?
Appreciate your help.

Shanti:
The solution is to escape the <> characters using UNICODE.
The message would look like:
<message>This is my <message>. </message>
Reading between the lines from your message it looks like
you will be receiving your possibly from unknown sources. If this
is the case it may be impossible to get the creators of the information
to use the UNICODE encoding rather than the keyboard <> characters.
You may need to create a preprocess to convert the 'special characters'
to the UNICODE encoding. You will experience problems with #PCDATA
(parsed character data) with other characters, i.e., &, AUML, OUML, etc.
