Re: best way to generate form from xml+schema?


A minor but potentially important correction:

More strictly, any one external parsed entity has to have a single 
encoding. A document might include, by reference, more than one external 
parsed entity, each of which can have its own encoding declaration and be 
in its own encoding.

That having been said, I too am skeptical of Graham's claim that he's 
"found differences over acceptance of multiple charsets in a single xml 
file: libxml accepts and processes this, xalan doesn't" -- how does he mean 
"multiple charsets in a single xml file"? And which parser is he running 
Xalan with: Xerces? (which I thought was pretty good with character sets)? 
how are the multiple charsets distinguished?

Cheers,
Wendell
