We are utilizing the XML data type in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for a project. Some members of the team and I feel that we should also use XSDs while members of the other camp feel that we should keep the XMLs ad hoc and not treat them as "types".

I want to attach an xslt stylesheet to an XML document that I build with XMLBuilder. This is done with a Processing Instruction that looks like <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='/stylesheets/style.xslt' ?> Normally, I'd use the instruct! method, but :xml-stylesheet is not a valid Ruby symbol.
