Re: adorning XML Schema for RDF extraction

I like the concept (had come across blindfold grammers when looking
into this originally), but EBNF doesn't seem to fit in too well if
the source document is XML. Most of the approaches that I've seen
advocate 'minimal' modification of the XML; I'd like pure extraction.

Cheers,
