Schematron can access any information that is available as a WWW XML
resource using HTTP GET. Construct the URL in a variable. Retrieve the XML
>From that URL into another variable. Use that variable in whatever tests
you need.
ALTERNATELY: use the XSLT extension mechanism by defining the java
namespace in an element. I suppose it works on. net too
