I understand why you want to do validity checking, and why it's frustrating that you sometimes (often) have to do checks that go beyond what schema can do for you. (You should see the checks that W3C applies to its own documents, which include checking that the status section has changed since the previous issue...) What I didn't understand was your complaint (as I understood it) that it's difficult to add an application level check that's executed at the time of document delivery. I don't see why you would want to add such checks at delivery time, rather than doing them at publication time. Michael Kay
