RE: Bob's letter on V5R4 RPG stuff

Here is the V5R3 blurb on the XML Toolkit:
 

XML Toolkit for iSeries


The XML Toolkit for iSeriesT (licensed program offering (LPO) 5733-XT1) is
designed to provide key development enablement components, XML parsers, to
assist in the use of XML for general application or business-to-business
(B2B) solutions. The XSL transformer allows you to reformat or reorganize
XML documents to other formats (for example, XML or HTML).

The XML Toolkit approach allows for a more timely delivery of supported XML
parsers as new versions become available.

> The XML Toolkit for iSeries is based on cross-platform, open-source code
that is designed to be compliant with industry standards. Parser version 5.5
corresponds to Apache Software Foundations' Xerces-C Version 2.6. The XSL
transformer corresponds to Apache Software Foundations' Xalan-C Version 1.9.
In addition to providing the XML for C++ parser and the XSL transformer for
C++, a unique iSeries interface called XML Procedural parser is provided to
the XML for C++ parser that allows applications written in RPG, C, or COBOL
to access an XML parser. End of change

The inference is that the 5.5 version of the parser includes validating
schema processing because it corresponds with the Apache Xerces-C Version
2.6 parsers, which does include validating schemas. A bit obscure. :-)
