RE: [stellation-res] Schema related question

["Jonathan Gossage" <jgossage@xxxxxxxx>]

I use a commercial tool XMLSpy for working with schemas so I would certainly
want to see the .xsd files. Since I have a strong distaste for Lisp style
syntax, I would be unlikely to use your tool. BTW, with XMLSpy I can do 80%
of the work with the mouse only.
