Title: RE: XSD Schema : Standard APIs ?
I personally do
not see a compelling reason to provide a DOM-based API. We basically can use
XQuery to query the type system since it is supposed to use XSD (and its
formalization) as the type system itself...
Best

The W3C DOM Level 3's "Content Models and Validation" module
will define a generic API for dealing with the content model that a "schema"
(broadly speaking, including DTDs, XSD, and in principle RELAX, XDR, etc.)
defines, the "PSV Infoset", and at least some datatype support. See http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-3-CMLS-20010209/content-models.html
for the initial draft of this effort, and please comment to www-dom@w... if
the functionality described in this draft does not meet your needs.
I believe, though I'm not sure, that the W3C Schemas working
group is working on a set of XSD-specific extensions to DOM Level 3 that would
more fully support its unique features.
