I've 90% finished XmlSchemaInference. I implemented it only because .NET 2.0 contains it.
XmlSchemaInference is very useful. For example, if you have such document like:
<![CDATA[
<products>
<category>
<category>
<product name="foo" />
<product name="bar" />
<product name="baz" />
</category>
<product name="hoge" />
<product name="fuga" />
</category>
</products>
]]>
It creates two different definition of "product" elements. Here is the
infered schema and generated serializable class.
So now I wonder if I had better port the same feature to Commons.Xml.Relaxng. RELAX NG is not so sucky than XML Schema, so I might be able to provide better XML structure inference engine. But XML structure inference itself is not so fun.
... after some thoughts, I decided to enter a new suggestion to MS feedback center which seems working again recently.
