Looks good, I'll incorporate that into the next version of this character editor (I like the name "Four Ee" but typing it feels weird!). If it gets to a state where it is actually a useful tool I might post about it separately, but for now it's more of an experiment in working with this...

Turns out I'm wrong about the capitalisation thing, that was a silly error on my part. The existing xsd file is fine (though we should get these new ideas in).

That would be great. My application is a character editor I was already working on - my main motivation for it was that there isn't going to be a Mac version of the DDI tools. I thought it might as well use this format. Yep, that's one of the things I need to fix. I've got strict validation...

Four Ee When developing a file format, it's always useful to have a reference implementation, so I've converted a character editor I was working on to use this schema. Attached ("4e.zip") is a Mac OS X application which can open/edit/save character ".sheet" files (it also works on ".xml", but...

Thoughts on Humans: it's implied by being Human that you have a bonus feat. You don't need to specify it as a choice for your <race>! You can just go ahead and add an extra feat to the <feats> section. This applies to powers, skills and languages too. On spellbooks: that seems like it might be...

Less alliteratively - as you probably know, DTDs and XSDs are both forms of XML schema. DTDs are older and somewhat deprecated, though there's nothing wrong with using them if people want - however, if this is to become a community standard I think that we should be careful to keep things in...

Don't dislike DTDs? Drive down Development Detour. Delay destruction demands different document definition devices.

That definitely looks better.

I agree that having attributes in a block of their own would be perfect pertaining to presentational/parsing purposes. I'm less liking the paragon path placement and epic etcetera.. eh, why would we want whimsical categories containing clear common criteria?

I really like what you've done here, both in recognising the original problems with skill challenges and in coming up with some solutions. As a GM, I'd like to use some aspects of your system. However, I don't really want to make changes/houserules that players have to know about - I don't want...
