validation of an xml file against a dtd or schema needed?

[Michael TEpperis]

hi,

I want to check if some rules match an xml file (a complete validation
is not needed). I need to know if the values of a special attribute
match a list. if not, I don't want to run the xslt.

the xml files does not refer to an dtd.

any recommodations?

<xsl:if test="not(document('other.xml')/foo/@bar)">
<xsl:message terminate='yes'>foo bar is required</xsl:message>
</xsl:if>

Is this what you are looking for?
