Of course you're welcome to distribute the file.

The point I was making about the XML parser is that it rejects the
schema declaration, which must be included in the xml file in order
for validation to function. For example, the root tag for the
component is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema ../../MetaL/metastorage/component.xsd ">

The xsd itself is not parsed, but these attributes on the root tag
*are* parsed (and rejected) by the metaL parser. It would be great if
the simplified XML parser would allow these tags on the root tag of
the document.

I'm using the eclipse wed development toolkit, which has a validating
XML editor that also allows you to view the XML in a structured view.
It's quite nice, and being able to use auto-complete and see any
mistakes can make editing and understanding the file a bit easier.

I don't think that the xsd there is complete, however. But it is a start.
