[xml] Validating Schemata

[Frans Englich <frans englich telia com>]

Hello,

I want to validate my Schemata sometimes, simply to ensure no silly mistakes 
have been made. I don't want to validate a document instance, but simply tell 
xmllint to barf if my Schema isn't a Schema. Is this possible?

Also, is it an idea to validate Schematas against the W3C's XML Schema 
Schema[1]? I remember vaguely a discussion where it was stated it was 
something principally wrong with validating Schemata. xmllint, 2.6.14, fails 
on the Schema, anyway.


Cheers,

                Frans
