I just don't see it as a fully described algorithm.

At least two of the schema working group members are knowledtable about forest automata theory but that group is being asked to do a hell of a lot of stuff from people with widely varying backgrounds. Nobody has time to do all of the appropriate "homework." > Alternatively, have the Forest proponents considered offering an xml > schema standard together with some open source code (XSLT, or > JavaScript+DOM) as a proof-of-concept? Well forest proponents are not a team or a political party. Murata-san has shown how forest automata can be used to develop schemas that are context sensitive. I don't think anyone has implemented a full schema-evolution solution. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
