Undecidability of a Schematron problem
Recently, I was reading about the Post Correspondence Problem
(PCP), which is undecidable (i.e., unsolvable). I realized
that the undecidability of the PCP could be used to prove that
the following problem is undecidable:

     Given a Schematron schema, is there an XML document that
     conforms to this schema?

If you're interested in reading the proof and a description
of the PCP, then please visit

Best regards,

Bob
