Richard - I agree with your statement on the schema compilation of type derived - would you be willing to share some numbers that prove this? Also, has someone/some-group actually published compilation times (scalability) of different parsers - XSV, Xerces, MSXML4, etc...?

XSV is full of inefficiencies, and when we've profiled it it has usually turned out that lots of the time is spent in some piece of code written without any thought for efficiency, or some idiom that turns out to be expensive in Python. I've never profiled a schema validator written with efficiency as an important goal. -- Richard ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
