> There can still be validators - they just do not validate using ordinary schemas.
Yes, and if the source code for these validators were released by the group who
made the language being validated, with a warrant that it was (as far as it went)
an correct realization of their standard, it would fill my criteria for a schema
(from this standards-adoption QA POV), albeit an oddity (although perhaps
the IETF system works a little this way, with the standard being a description
of the running code.)
A binary tool or third-party code or unvouched code does not make that grade,
which is not to say these things are not better than nothing!
(Rereading Tom's other comment about XSLT, I guess I should clarify that I am
talking about standards for public data interchange. )
