Hi Greg,

It looks like we were emitting the contents of <Char_Type> in the wrong 
order (as you found), and also the contents of <Window>. With the two 
changes to build the elements of these two subtrees in the order 
specified by the schema, your Example document validates correctly. 
You'll see those changes show up in the next release of Graffle 4.

The code involved was written in reference to Microsoft's Visio 2002 
XML documentation, before an XSD was ever published - thus the ordering 
issues, which don't actually effect correct parsing of the file by 
either Visio 2002 or Visio 2003.

Thank you very much for pointing out this error, and if you come upon 
anything else that fails to validate, please let us know.
