Checking validity of ODF 1.2 Schemas

[robert_weir@us.ibm.com]

I've seen a few comments on the ongoing ballot to certify that our schemas 
are well-formed/valid, etc.  Before I voted I wanted to do my due 
diligence.  I'd like to share what I did so anyone who wishes to confirm 
these tests or run a complimentary test can do so.

ODF 1.2 includes 3 RNG schema files and 2 OWL ontologies.

The ISO Relax NG standard comes with a normative schema (in Relax NG 
format) that can be used to validate RNG schemas.  You can get this from 
the standard itself (
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c037605_ISO_IEC_19757-2_2003(E).zip
) or, as I did, accompanying an RNG validator like James Clark's jing.

I downloaded jing:  http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/jing.html

Then I unzipped it into a directory, and validated the 3 ODF 1.2 schemas, 
with the following commands and echoed output:

C:\ODF12Schemas>java -jar ./bin/jing.jar -t lib/relaxng.rng 
odf12/OpenDocument-v1.2-cs01-schema.rng 
Elapsed time 766+141=907 milliseconds

C:\ODF12Schemas>java -jar ./bin/jing.jar -t lib/relaxng.rng 
odf12/OpenDocument-v1.2-cs01-dsig-schema.rng 
Elapsed time 265+63=328 milliseconds

C:\ODF12Schemas>java -jar ./bin/jing.jar -t lib/relaxng.rng 
odf12/OpenDocument-v1.2-cs01-manifest-schema.rng 
Elapsed time 265+63=328 milliseconds

No errors or warnings were reported.

For the 2 OWL ontologies, I used an online validator:   
http://www.mygrid.org.uk/OWL/Validator

I pasted in each of our files, and validated it against "OWL Full". Again, 
no errors or warnings.

Although one could imagine a fun rainy day where we then go on recursively 
to validate the RelaxNG.rng against itself, and verify the EBNF of the 
W3C's XML 1.0 Rec, I think this would be pointless.  So I'll stop here. 
This is enough for me to cast my vote.
