RELAX NG + Saxon B?

Added by Anonymous over 15 years ago

What with the "primary" version of DocBook 5 being defined in RELAX NG rather than DTD and all, I was wondering if future versions of open source Saxon will support schema languages other than DTD or if the ability to use RELAX NG (and any other to-be-developed schema languages) will forever remain a paid-for-extra?

I hate the word "support" - what exactly do you mean by it? There's no problem using Relax NG in a processing pipeline that also does Saxon transformations or queries. There's also no interaction - because Relax NG deliberately does validation and nothing else, Saxon can't use the information in a Relax NG schema, nor can it take account of whether or not the input document has been validated. So you're welcome to use the two technologies together; in my view they complement each other and no integration is required.
