Whoops... maybe I should have done a search for "Fuchs" in the XML Schema spec before trying to teach my grandmother to [expletive deleted] eggs. All I can say is that I've just finished writing two transforms: one to fix-up a schema by disambiguating all element names, and a second which generates an equivalent transform to fix-up incoming messages. Both were simpler than I expected - you can go a long way by using your XSD type as an XSLT mode... Francis.
