About

The schema is published with the XSLT 2.0 Recommendation. It catches misplaced instructions, unknown xsl: elements and wrong attributes before a processor such as Saxon is run.

It imports XMLSchema.xsd and xml.xsd, included here.

Good to know

  • XPath expressions in select, match and test are checked as strings only, not parsed.
  • Stylesheets marked version="1.0" can also be checked; elements new in 2.0 are then still allowed.
  • The example is by xmlvalid.com.
