The info messages don't make sense out of a linear context - they would generally refer to another message. > In the Web world, though, there are the same three types of issues > but also > major groupings called "Potential Issues" and "Validation Output". > Can someone explain to me the difference between, say, a warning that > belongs to the "Potential Issues" category vs. one grouped in the > "Validation Output" category? Potential issues is just a user-friendly wording for "all the problems that were found before validation proper even started". Hence, no line/column number. In the html output, the group= parameter (List Messages Sequentially / Group Error Messages by type - in the options) have an effect, but not (yet) in the soap output. I'm preparing a proposal to remedy to this, please review it, as it may be a solution to some of your issues. -- olivier
