Excellent!

It doesn't do that right now, but that feature has been added to the 
list for consideration.  Note that just last week Rick Jelliffe 
talked about using the document() function for code list 
validation.  It seemed to me at the time an interesting consideration 
for CVA2Sch ... you've confirmed it!

I'm in the process of moving the CVA2Sch tool into an Apache project, 
so this feature can be added as part of that process.

Thanks, Linda!
