[Schematron] How do include a schematron file in XSD viainclude/import ?

[Joe Robe]

Ewa,

thanks so much for your reply. I use a NET schematron implementation
and yes it does work with app info included in the xsd file.

The problem is that I created an application to create schematron
rules which than auto creates the schematron file. The idea is to have
than this file included in the xsd like below. If I replace the
xs:import by the contents of the imported file, the validator
correctly validates the schematron rules ! Would using xsl work here ?
I mean creating a variable in the external file and than do a
xsl:valueof select="$SchematronRules"...


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05"
elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.005" id="OTA2005B"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05">
	<xs:annotation>
		<xs:appinfo>
			<xs:import schemaLocation="OTA_CancelRQ.xsd"/>
		</xs:appinfo>
	</xs:annotation>
	<xs:annotation>
		<xs:documentation xml:lang="en">All Schema files in the OTA
specification are made available according to the terms defined by the
OTA License Agreement at
http://www.opentravel.org/ota_downloads_form.cfm</xs:documentation>
	</xs:annotation>
	<xs:element name="OTA_CancelRQ">
