I know that every automaton can be written back into regular expression *theoretically*. But there are just so much sugar in XML Schema that makes this transformation impractical. And if the resulting regexp has to be somewhat legible otherwise the schema itself becomes meaningless, doesn't it. > > >I don't want > > to write that code. > > If we consider validation only, there are no problems. > > If we consider operations to schema, we already have many problems. Why > not another? I think this one is an unnecessary complication because I don't think we need regexp to restrict tag names. -- Kohsuke KAWAGUCHI +1 650 786 0721 Sun Microsystems kohsuke.kawaguchi@eng.sun.com
