[dsdl-discuss] Re: Concurrent (overlapping) structures

>What do you mean by parse?

I meant "send for validation against a schema".

>I thought DSDL was about transformation (any transformation, not only XSLT
but also namespace isolation and any other transformation) and validation
but not about parsing (except that we've said that we could plug parsers
parsing anything as long as thay gave us XML infosets).
What we can say right now is:

>Transform the XML document to ignore any markup in namespace X and
validate it against my first schema and then transform the source document
to ignore any markup in namespace Y and validate it against my second
schema.

>Or:

>Use parser A to parse the document D ignoring any markup in namespace X
and validate it against my first schema and use parser B to parse the
document D ignoring any markup in namespace Y and validate it against my
second schema.
>Doesn't one (or both) of these schemes fit with what you mean?

The first was what I had in mind for the loose-leaf scenario, but I can see
the benefits of the second in some scenarios.

>The second one could even support LMNL ASAIK.

Sounds like a good reason to allow it then.
