Hi Dave,
Here's one approach:
At the beginning of your XSL, make a key for @id attributes in the document.
Then for each @refid in the document, check if there is a matched key.
If it doesn't report an error.
(Schematron is one way you could check this quickly... But if you want
a lighter weight XSLT, it should be simple to do.)

Hi,
This is probably a newbie question, although I've hacked a lot of XSLT
for about a year. This problem has me stumped, however.
Our schema has numerous elements with "id" attributes (target IDs) and
several with "refID" attributes (reference IDs). Unfortunately, these
are not defined as ID and IDREF respectively or I wouldn't be having
this issue. I need to compare all of the "refID" attributes in a
document against all of the "id" attributes and generate a report
showing the "refID" attributes that do not have a valid target. I know
this is probably only a few lines in XSLT, but I'm not sure where to
even start to do this test.
Can anyone get me started?
