Imbedded "schema" with "xpointer" ??
Hi List, I am new to xml and new to this list
Question # 1:
I have been struggling with an Idea.
Is there any way possible to create an xml document that
includes/im-beds its own schema within the doc, so that
I don't need to have two separate files. I was toying with the
idea of using "xpointer", but this is problemetic because
Xerces does not support "xpointer" yet. Does anyone know
if using xerces with xlan will give me the "xpointer" support I
desire ??
Here is what my xml file might look like:

*************************end of xml example***************
Question #2 forgive me I know this is a little off-topic.
I was trying to use visual studio .net 2003 to validate my xml doc
against the schema. When I press the validate menu item, it says it
could not find the schema, but when I examine my xml doc and the schema,
it seems like everything is correct could anyone guide me tell me if my
xml files are correct ???
Here they are: (both files reside in the same "dir")
