Yes, Francis, do hunt that original down. Perhaps there could be a place set up to go to get xslts for xsd. Also, if Chris Maden is out there, I would like to get rights to use the xslt described here (of course with any copyright verbage he wants): http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200108/msg00670.html (The email at the web site does not seem to work. Contact me offline if you are out there.) Thanks, Paul (P.S. My apologies to Henry T, as my posting delay was the result of my subscribing under an alias and not any list problem. Sorry Henry!) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francis Norton" <francis@redrice.com> To: "Paul Kiel" <paul@hr-xml.org> Cc: <xmlschema-dev@w3.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 5:52 AM Subject: Re: view xml-schema with svg > Paul, > > I have some XSLT for processing XSDs here at > http://schemavalid.com/utils/typeTagger.zip - it handles includes so > might be useful.
