is there another way to use XSLT transformation while using a stylesheet inside the XML files to transform, when having the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="foo.xsd" specified in the XML file and launching the transformation task with a toto.xslt sheet ? I currently first validate all my XML files against the foo.xsd with xmlvalidate and then launch the style task against xslt with toto.xslt as stylesheet. is the xmlvalidation already embedded into the style ANT task or the XSLT transformation ? I doubt coz even when I put a wrong path to my xsd the style tasks run fine and there is no way to specify this kind of xsd. wouldn't it be usefull to have it embedded into the xslt task with an extra argument ?
