Latest FOP schema

[Chuck Paussa <cp...@myrealbox.com>]

I've greatly improved the FO schema I've been working on.  I've added 
patterns for most of the attribute types. I'd appreciate it if some 
folks would run their FO documents through a validator against this 
schema and respond with where I've done a less than excellent job.

The schema as delivered is for the full FO spec. I've created <group>s 
and <attributeGroup>s that segregate those elements and attributes 
implemented and not-implemented in FOP. To make this an FOP only schema, 
remove those groups and attributeGroups with "_Not" in their names.

A couple of items I've noticed:

FOP allows some elements, like fo:table-cell and fo:flow to be empty 
when the spec says they must be non-empty
FOP allows the contents of some elements like simple-page-master to be 
in any order when the spec insists on a defined order

Hi Chuck,

This looks very good.
I think we should put this somewhere on the site when it is ready.

I'm sure there are many more cases where something is not enforced.
