RE: Schema embedded in an XML document

Current validators from Microsoft (both system.xml and MSXML) support inline schemas: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302288.aspx However, I think that the majority of the validators out there don't support them and even if you look at those that do, you might find significant differences.

Subject: Schema embedded in an XML document

Is it possible to incorporate the schema in a single file along with the XML content that's meant to conform to the schema? I'm thinking of something rather like HTML files that can incorporate embedded CSS styles, or the CSS files can be extracted into a separate CSS file.
