valid Dom / xml data file from the xsl schema file

Hiya,

I have the following xml schema file which I parse to a dom1.
But having the dom1, I want to walk around it to produce another
dom2 (that represents the valid xml data file to be seralised
later to a file).

I have difficulties:

1. understanding what the valid xml file looks like because I am
confused about the bit on the xsd:ID and xsd:IDREF. (not really
a dom question but linked to it)

------------rough xml file structure or dom-------------

<XEX-data>
	<stock_info>
		<a_stock_name>vhg</a_stock_name>
		<b_stock_acronym>vhg</b_stock_acronym>
		<c_price_info>
			<d_daily_price_data>1.2</d_daily_price_data>
			<d_daily_price_data>1.1</d_daily_price_data>
		</c_price_info>
	</stock_info>
</XEX-data>


2. how I can walk dom1 to create dom2? is tree walker the
easiest to implemement? How do I deal with the the xsd:choice
node where only one of the nodes will be created?


Thanks in advance, braden.
