RE: [relax-ng-comment] Full to simple syntax converter?

[Michael Fitzgerald <mike@wyeast.net>]

If by simple syntax you mean the simple non-XML syntax, you will find
resources here: http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/nonxml/. If you mean
simplification as part of the validation process, you will find that here:

Subject: [relax-ng-comment] Full to simple syntax converter?


I'm working on a RELAX NG validator for Python.  Writing the
validation engine took only an afternoon, thanks to the excellent
description of Jing's algorithm; writing a parser for the simple
syntax also only took a few hours.  Implementing the full
syntax... er, it's been a couple of weeks now and still counting...

Is there any software that converts a schema in the full syntax to the
simple syntax?  That would let me test and fix my validation engine
without getting snarled in the complexity of the full parser.

Also, I can't find the specification of the informal syntax anywhere.
Can someone please point me toward it?
