Hi all,

as it turned out, that path I wanted to take, e.g., using validation to
get the correct attribute types, is not really practical at all, because
nearly all the XML files out there are invalid anyway.  I spent one hour
searching the net for arbitray XML files corresponding to some XSD (XMI
files, SVG, whatnot), but none passed the online schema validators.  And
doing validation only for getting to know what attribute is an ID/IDREF
is not really what I want, anyway.

Funnily, when I tested some XML with an embedded DTD with my tool, it
just worked right out of the box with no validation turned on.

Bye,
Tassilo
