Exporting a part of an XSD

[Mhaxx]

I'd like to export my XML data type definitions into a separate file, so
I can use them from other XSD: how can I do?

Good, but Pollo seems not to load include xsd. What about Pollo to
validate XSD? Others good XML validator?

I don't know Pollo, I use Java Xerces as available in the jEdit editor
(http://www.jedit.org/) and MSXML 4 from Microsoft and occasionally MS
..NET ValidatingReader.

Can I use it as XML validator, too?

If you install the XML plugins available then jEdit validates against
DTDs and W3C XML schemas.
