Hard to say. I'd hope so, personally, because I don't think there's any way for XML Schema to articulate everything about a markup language without supporting a rules-based approach. I also think that Schematron would benefit from the structure-oriented approach of XML Schema. The XML Schema WG are apparently working on XML Schema 1.1 (http://www.w3.org/XML/Activity.html#future) but I imagine that will involve bug fixes rather than extensive changes to the language (?) In the meantime, there are tools that support XML Schema and Schematron combinations, see e.g. http://www.topologi.com/. Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/
