Re: [xml-dev] A single, all-encompassing data validation language - good

["Anthony B. Coates (XML-Dev)" <abcoatesecure-xmldev@yahoo.co.uk>]

I've seen it demonstrated using the commercial version of Saxon  
(www.saxonica.com).  I believe the Altova XML Query Processor also has  
support, although it may not be fully debugged yet (but is said to be  
making progress).  I'm sure there are others, but I don't know which  
ones.  The W3C list of XQuery implementations is here:

http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/#implementations

but this doesn't tell you which implement Schema-awareness.  I know that  
some implementations apparently do not intend to implement it.  I'm sure  
the vendors of XQuery processors that are Schema-aware won't be shy to  
post a note to that effect on this list, but it would be helpful if the  
W3C page captured that information, which it doesn't right now.

Cheers, Tony.
