Hi,

I have a program that parses XML Schemas and I would like to specify a
few restrictions on the XML Schemas it can read. For example I would
like to specify that it will only process XML Schemas that allow element
names to be a maximum of 20 characters long.

Would it be possible to write an XML Schema that is a subset of the
schema for schemas ( http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd ) using
restriction and then schema validate other XML Schemas against it?

Thanks,

Jasmin
