Re: [dita] XSD Generation Ready To Test

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@contrext.com>]

Eric S. reported an error reported by Xerces-c parsers against the XSDs.
I've corrected that error and provisioned the xerces-c parser locally in
order to both reproduce the original failure and verify that I've
corrected it in the latest XSDs in SVN.

I'm working to see what I can do to integrate this parser into my test
suite. It's a slight challenge because, being a C++-based tool, it
required platform-specific binaries. Also, it doesn't come out of the box
with a command-line command that just does validation, although I could
work with some of one of the sample applications that just reports one
line of data when the file validates.

Cheers,

E.
