On further consideration, I probably would back off my statement above; for example, it seems just fine to refer to the XMl schema basic type repertoire (or hopefully, a subset of it) by reference. The problem that worries me here is where typing information comes from, and the supposition that types exist only as a side-effect of validation processing. -Tim ]] I agree completely. Sometimes you just need to know what the type of some piece of XML, or character string, is, not how you arrived at that conclusion. Jonathan
