Oh OK. Agree, XML is a more useful format.
We found that when we amended schematron-xml.xsl to create our own
customised output format for validation we still needed to have
another output format for testing which rules had fired (or not) -
(our output is biased towards what failed rather than what worked).
What we did was leave the default schematron XML output in place and
just introduced a param to switch between the 2 formats.
Did you find a need for something similar or did you take a different approach ?
