Re: [xml-dev] RELAX NG: Are Grammar Elements Always Required to Containa Start Child Element?

Hi Tom,

That file that you create only to be included in another schema is not 
valid by itself, however, it may contribute without problems to form a 
valid grammar when included from another file.

Similar issues appear not only for Relax NG but also for XSLT, XQuery 
and even XML documents.

oXygen handles these cases through validation scenarios. For instance 
you can define a validation scenario for that Relax NG file and specify 
that instead of validating that file alone oXygen should validate the 
file that includes it.

More information about validation scenarios can be found here

Best Regards,
George
