Hearing this is truly music to my ears. The implication being that the XML spec would not even have to talk about "valid" or "validity" - thus we would not have to deal with this matter if inclusivity with respect to schema languages in the XML spec. -----Original Message----- From: Tim.Bray@S...

The textual flaw isn't that it doesn't mention XSD or RNG, the textual flaw is that it mentions *any* schema language. A very high proportion of real-world XML processing is entirely free of anything schema-related. The vast majority of the XML value proposition is delivered by schema-free well-formed XML. Even in those apps that use a schema in their specification, the vast majority of run-time processing is schema-free. One of the costliest common mistakes of XML app/language designers is putting too much importance on schemas. The XML specification shouldn't be encouraging that mistake.
