I found my exemplars. They are in SVN under doctypes/test/1.2/exemplars/ There are exemplars for the 1.2 DTDs and XSDs. These are the original 1.2 artifacts modified to reflect differences resulting from the generation process that would not affect processing, such as the order of references to things in places where the order doesn't affect the processing. With these changes, line-by-line comparison to the generated 1.2 artifacts is more useful. To date I've used them for manual inspection using Oxygen's directory compare tool. For example, create an Oxygen project that includes the exemplars/dtd directory and the generated dtd/ directory, select both directories in the project view, then apply the "Compare" action. You'll get a list of all the files that are different. You can then select the files to pull up a side-by-side comparison of the two versions of a given file. You can then scan the changes. Differences resulting only from whitespace differences are highlighted a different color from other differences, so it's easy to focus in on substantive differences. Going forward I will do this comparison before committing any updates to the generated DTDs and XSDs, as well as carefully inspect differences with the version currently in the SVN repository to ensure I'm not introducing new errors.
