Being able to take a few passes at the data is a really useful technique. The effective schema is an intersection of schemas. It is built into Schematron (each pattern equivalent to a pass, though it may not be implemented that way), and I see James Clark was able to represent the exclusions in HTML using three passes in RELAX NG (one for the general schema, one for the restriction that an <a> cannot contain a child <a> at any level, and something else: presumably XSD would require the same, sniff :-) Cheers Rick Jelliffe
