RE: [xsl] which schema validators currently support dangling types? does system.xml on the .net platform do it?

Richard,

I believe the last example in this paper is what people might want to
refer to as it gives a pretty good explanation and would give "all of
us" a common perspective. 

But either way, I am wondering if that is "supported" by System.XML
classes?

Thanks,

I read that same document, a long time ago.

Can you include an example of a dangling type for those of us that have
forgotten ...

Thanks,

Rich

Hi

I came across a best practices whitepaper on xfront.com that suggested
"dangling" types as the best way for creating variable content container
elements.

But of course this article was written in 2001 and it mentions the
inadequacy of the validators at the time.

I do understand that this might be the wrong place but since this is
critical to the application of my stylesheets I am posting a question
and if the moderators feel that this is not a valid message please do
let me know and feel free to remove it.

"Would it be possible for some of the more experienced thinkers out here
to give some insights as to which engines currently support dangling
types in a schema (XSD) and whether or not .NET system.xml classes would
support the same?"

I'll appreciate some insight. Thanks.
