The main point of using XML Schema for formally specifying XML vocabularies is to facilitate application interoperability. I think the smart ones will use the minimal subset expected from all processors while the not-so-smart ones will arrive at the same result the hard way. There are already (mis-)features in XML Schema 1.0 that are avoided pretty much by everyone (e.g., redefine). -boris -- Boris Kolpackov Code Synthesis Tools CC http://www.codesynthesis.com Open-Source, Cross-Platform C++ XML Data Binding
