No commitment. We're investigating. The timetable would be sometime *after* it's a Recommendation. The general feeling here is that we (well, our predecessors in the late '90s) blew it by committing to supporting whatever came out of the W3C and deprecating XDR before seeing what the schema WG actually produced. Too many breaking changes, or a reversion to the hard dependency on XML 1.1 would tend to deflate our interest. BTW, I'm speaking only for the core Data Programmability / XML team. There are others who are already implementing XSD 1.1 for their own product (the same folks who have also implemented Schematron). Speaking of XSD 1.1 and Schematron, what do others think about their approach of defining their own constraint language based on Schematron concepts rather than taking an external dependency on Schematron? -----Original Message----- From: Rick Jelliffe [mailto:rjelliffe@a...] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 5:27 PM To: xml-dev@l...
