IMHO. Is there any particular reason why you think one wouldn't want to use schemas? The downside I see is that error messages will be less precise than what carefully crafted custom code would allow. However, I believe a schema-based implementation to be easier to write, more maintainable, more portable and better customizable (portable and customizable e.g. for inclusion in a CMS that wants more restrictions on input). My current plan is 1) to use RELAX NG for everything it is convenient for (element nesting, attribute occurrence, attribute datatypes through datatype libraries) 2) to use the XSD datatype library within RELAX NG for everything it is good for 3) to define (in English) and implement (in Java) a datatype library for stuff that the XSD library is not good for 4) to use Schematron for stuff that Schematron can cover but the above can't conveniently cover 5) to use custom Java code if there is still something that is not covered. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
