<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">It rather depends how the messages are distinguished. If
they are all in disjoint namespaces, you could simply write a superschema that
imports all the others, and then do strict validation against that. If the
schemas have overlapping definitions, it's a bit more complicated. But if you
can't tell us the rules for choosing a schema, then no-one else
can!</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">The fact that you are asking on a JDOM list also suggests
that you have made some decisions about the processing pipeline, and these
decisions may constrain the answer.</font></span></div>
