Hi List,
[long message]
I am taking my first XSD / XML steps and I have tried to construct an
XML Schema and a sample XML document to illustrate a series of clients,
client's categories and their case studies. In the absence of any other
XML orientated tech in the company I wondered if anyone out there felt
charitable enough to comment on both the coding style,
fit-for-purposeness, and syntax of the following.
Many thanks.
