RELAX NG and architectures example

I added an example to my XSLToolbox package (http://www.nist.gov/xsltoolbox) that 
uses RELAX NG patterns to represent the "purchase order" and "international 
purchase order" sample schemas from Part 0 of the W3C XML Schema recommendation. 
The international purchase order pattern uses the purchase order pattern as a 
(ISO/IEC 10744 Annex A.3) architecture.

 

My example attempts to show how you can use RELAX 
NG and architectures together to mimic W3C XML Schema features such as type 
extension and substitution groups. The example also exploits RELAX NG's 
namespace-awareness in that the international purchase order pattern contains an 
embedded annotation specifying the default attribute values needed for 
architectural processing.

 

I'm thinking of making this example into a poster 
presentation for Extreme 2001, to supplement a paper I'm presenting on 
architectures and XSLT. I would appreciate any feedback readers of the RELAX NG 
list can give me.

 

To run my example, download and unzip the 
XSLToolbox distribution, and look at README.TXT in the apex/examples/schema 
directory.
