[sword-devel] xmllint & the OSIS standard

@ Troy, thanks for the .zip file.  I'm more interested in trying to
figure out how to create modules than a specific module.  My plan is
try checking some of the stock modules.  Writing a test module,
validate it, eliminate errors .... so on.

@ Matěj, I wasn't having much success with --schema either.  Even so,
I downloaded a copy osisCore.2.1.1.xsd and the example you gave,
worked (thanks).

Is there a way to generate a .osis file from the stock modules without
using mod2osis?  Using mod2osis seems to generate tons of errors with
xmllint (presumably because the schema isn't supported).

What's the best way to starting to create a 'test' module for learning purposes?

~Andrew

If I download the .xsd file the command line example you gave should work
