Jack Adams: >> Putting a generic XML payload inside XML >> can't work with validation, As it turns out, XML schemas is designed to handle this sort of thing, and it even provides switches in the containing schema that signal whether the contained payloads are to validated relative to their own schems (look for concepts like SKIP, LAX and STRICT validation of wildcards [1]). Of course, schemas can't directly avoid the limitations of XML 1.0 itself. For example, schemas have key, keyref mechanisms which resemble ID, but have element scope...BUT, ID is an XML 1.0 concept and so it works the same with schemas as without...it's document wide.
