XML Schemas, not for the faint of heart

I've been trying to get a fairly simple XML Schema example to work with validation.  I've been at this off and on for about 8 hours over 3 days.  While I am not an expert in all phases of XML, trying to write a Schema by hand doesn't seem to be very simple.  I asked a couple of friends (Rob Chartier and David Silverlight) to help, but they couldn't get it to work either.  Finally, I downloaded an XML editor on Saturday.  Within about 10 minutes of installing it, I had everything working that I need to have.  Why does it have to be so hard?

PS. Big Thanks to Dave and Rob for putting up with my stupid questions.  I appreciate them not telling me to f--- off.

  • I used XMLSpy some time ago to do something similar, I spent over a day trying to fix it - downloaded XMLSpy and within seconds I had ti fixed.
