Hi, I am trying to use XLink/XPointer local 'bare names' to specify links for nodes within the same document. This means that I'll have a key definition like: <character id="character_Snoopy"> and a reference like: <character xlink:href="#character_Snoopy" xlink:type="simple"/> And I wonder how I can validate (to check the existence of the references) this kind of document. The DTD or XML Schemas ID/IDREF mecanism and even the more flexible key/keyref XML Schemas cannot validate references which are not strictly equals to their definition and in this case, the "#" character needs to be added to the reference. Do you have any hints on how this issue could be handled ? Thanks Eric [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr#bare-names -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric van der Vlist Dyomedea http://dyomedea.com http://xmlfr.org http://4xt.org http://ducotede.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------
