Re: missing start elementt

It's not required for any top level grammars.
The compact to XML syntax translation is
done on a file per file basis. So the translator
doesn't really have any idea of what is a
main module or an included module. So each
file has its own top level. Therefore, the following is
perfectly valid:

schema1.rnc:

include "schema2.rnc"
start = foo

schema2.rnc:

foo = element foo { text }

Cheers,
David
