I don't see the advantage with using XML::Smart either :-)

    Ah, I meant XML::Rules :-)

    I just tried to convert the sample XML from XML::Rules' SYNOPSIS into a schema:

    trang test.xml test.rnc

    And the result:

    default namespace = ""
    
    start =
      element doc {
        element person {
          element fname { xsd:NMTOKEN },
          element lname { xsd:NMTOKEN },
          element email { xsd:NMTOKEN },
          element address {
            element street { xsd:NMTOKEN },
            element city { xsd:NMTOKEN },
            element country { xsd:NMTOKEN },
            element bogus { xsd:NMTOKEN }
          },
          element phones {
            element phone {
              attribute type { xsd:NCName },
              xsd:NMTOKEN
            }+
          }
        }+
      }
    
    Which looks quite reasonable. trang can also convert into .xsd files, which look uglier but are needed for XML::Compile operation.
