Hi Mathias,

Right. One can use existing tools this way, if it works.

TS -> php array -> XML <-* validated by DTD or Schema

No need to write a special TS validator, wich seem quite unrealistic.


But see posting of Dan. His approach goes in the same way. He is a steps 
beyond me in his concept, but doesn't focus on validation.

If I understand his concept his approach is this:

TS <-> TSobjects <-> XML <-* validated by DTD or Schema

But having objects, error checking concepts could be implemented 
directly, probably already on an abstract level of the object tree. 
Validation isn't so important then.

Elmar
