[cxml-devel] validating XML: document

[Alexandre Rademaker]

Hello All,

Four months ago I posted the following message. Does anyone have any
idea if the warnings was my mistake or a possible bug in the code of
CXML? In the second case, with some directions I would be glad to help
to fix the problem.

Best,
Alexandre
