Re the dynamics aspect of schema creation: While it is fun to discuss AI or other scripting programs creating schemas by looking at lots of samples, in my experience, this gets done by the dudes and dudettes sitting at ends of email or telephone pipes exchanging spippets of understanding. As Graham notes, most of it is hacking examples. I think this is particularly true if their is a very large and very abstract standard schema with six or seven layers of complex declarations in the middle (think Justice Global XML or some of the more hideous paramerterized DTDs one finds left over from CALS). I've been watching a new to markup but experienced guy trying to negotiate a simple web service interface based on GJXDM and I am convinced that before it is all done, we'll end up carving that beast into something a lot more directly understandable and simpler. Word to the wise in the Justice Department and in the OASIS working groups: Simpler is better even if it means more to manage, particularly where urgency of implementation is high. len
