Several of these questions were already answered in the #gentoo-infra |

chat that predated the mailing list discussion; I repeat the details |
| 3 |
here because it dispels the other concerns. |

Is Trang still actively maintained by upstream? Last release looks like |
| 12 |
2009? It also cannot convert FROM XML-Schema, only TO XML-Schema. |
| 13 |
There is also MSV, dev-java/msv, with a last release in 2013. |

All you need is xsltproc, which is part of libxslt/libxml. |

These two are very similar, differing only in a comment block warning |
| 29 |
that some RNG/XML-Schema constraints cannot be represented in DTD. |

Both Trang and MSV are also Java, whereas the XSLT transforms are usable |
| 32 |
without Java. |
