Apr 13, 2013 at 12:18 comment added deucalion0 Not really because I never used the XML file until I had a Schema which was correct. I created a web application that uses XSLT to provide content to the XHTML pages from the XML file as a data source. I suppose I should have experimented but at that point I just took for granted it had to be valid, end of story!
