I believe that you are not processing any of this in RPG, is
that correct?

correct.

Someone suggested having a schema for your XML - that seems
an important step for you, since it will help ensure that
your XML document is valid.

we don't use dtd or schema at the moment, which might prove to be a bad
idea, but at the moment, I don't need it. It's me who writes the rpg that
writes the xml that is used by the xsl. So I can do what I want! I just
wanted to be sure I was doing it right.

I'm having a lot of fun with eclipse and oxygen xml editor. The editor
will show me if the xml is incorrectly formed.

I know nothing about XSL-FO - just looked it up and found
information and tutorial at w3schools.com - if you have not
gone to that site, it is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Yes I've been there often. It's amazing what xsl can do, and I'm always in
need of help to do it.

<Values>
<Value Val="*YES"/>
<Value Val="*NO"/>
</Values>

That's good enough for me. So <children><child></child></children> it is!
