XMLSchema syntax problem

A

AL

Hi all,

I have an XML document like this:
<root>
<node>A</node>
<node>B</node>
<node>C</node>
</root>

it's very important validate the following xml doc:
<root> <root>
<node>A</node> <node>A</node>
<node>B</node> </root>
</root>

and don't validate a document like this:
<root>
<node>B</node>
<node>A</node>
</root>

I'd like to validate this document using XML Schema. Is it possible?
Thanks!!

This is not valid using XSchema, but there
are some other schema tecnologies,

i think schematron could do the job for you,
or you have to wait for the next xschema version.

I meant off course:

This is not possible with XSchema...

But that just my intuition telling me that.
Maybe there is some clever way you can create a schema
for you kind of documents,

but i dont see how

I'm not sure I understand your requirement. Do you mean that that
text content of <node> elements must appear in lexicographic order
(sorted)?

You certainly can't express that constraint with W3C XML Schema or
RelaxNG. Probably can with Schematron.
