Re: restrict content to values out of a xml file

Hi Nadine,

what you need is validation across documents. This is currently not
supported by the schema recommendation. Yet, I see two possibilities:

1. You use an XInclude in the document that refers values in the other
document.
2. You use JBind (available at http://www.jbind.org). I developed a
validator that supports to carry on so called "data contexts" from instance document
validation to other instance document validations.
