Is anyone else concerned about the language in the latest XPointer Last Call Working Draft that refers to XML Schema? "If the document has an XML Schema [XMLSchema] PSVI,..." I know what a PSVI is, and how to get one. What I don't know is what it means for a document to "have" a PSVI, or how to determine if a document has one, or which PSVI to use if it has more than one. Remember that the xsi:schemalocation attribute is a "hint". There may be other hints, I may have my own ideas about what XML Schema is appropriate, or there may be no hints but a common understanding of what XML Schema I should use (perhaps in the software of some vendors). If XPointer is going to depend on XML Schema, it should do so in a well-specified way. I can think of several ways to fix this: 1. Drop XMLSchema entirely from XPointer 2. Add an XMLSchema(...) XPointer Scheme 3. Make the schemalocation hint manditory to provide, and manditory to dereference for Schema-Loading, WRT XPointer. I'm worried that instead we will get 4. Do nothing, and hope it works itself out. since XPointer is on the Fast-Track to Rec. -Wayne Steele _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
