Thanks to Jeni and Mike
for making me aware of what xsl:import-schema does.
I've missed this -- most probably because "import-schema" and "import"
generally (or at least to me) means "get from another file".
A much better name in this particular case would be "define-schema"
Having said that, I'm happy to be proven incorrect. Actually not
extremely happy, as XSD does not happen to be the most elegant xml
schema language.
Why it can't be... let's say RNG ? :o)
Cheers,
Dimitre.

Hi Dimitre,
What is really not elegant at all in XSLT 2.0 is the impossibility to
define user data types inline in a stylesheet -- forcing the
programmer to artificially separate in different files type definition
from type usage makes XSLT 2.0 rather unique... :(
Since the November 2004 Working Draft, you can nest a (WXS) schema
within an <xsl:import-schema> element, so you can define data types
within the stylesheet module if you want. This only applies to
Schema-Aware XSLT processors, of course.
Cheers,
Jeni
