Regarding #1, yes the extra spaces were intentional to align the schema
contents.

All changes in comment #9 were made except for the following bullets which are
copied 
below with my comments:
----------------
2.  In section 4.4, for "schema-incomplete". "A required schema is not included
..." Maybe it's more accurate to say "Some required schema documents *may* not
be included ...".

This does not make sense to me. Either the documents are included or not, in
which case 
the IF document is schema-complete or not. I'm not sure what is intended by
"may".

---------------
3.  In the following paragraph "... distinguish between these two cases and
that
is not always ...". Suggest to change "and" to "because".

The sentence in the spec is "It is necessary for an SML-IF producer to
declaratively 
distinguish between these two cases *and* that is not always possible based on
the content alone. "

I think "and" is correct. "It is necessary to distinguish..." is a true
statement whether or not
it is possible based on content alone - not 'because' it is not possible based
on content alone.

--------------
12.  It's not clear to me whether "namespaceBindingType" should also allow
extension points using wildcards.

This needs a group decision.

-------------
15.  Maybe it's helpful to have a default value for "schemaComplete":
    <xs:attribute name="schemaComplete" type="xs:boolean"/> becomes
    <xs:attribute name="schemaComplete" type="xs:boolean" default="true"/>

This needs a group decision. We should be careful to assess the impact of not
setting this correctly. In other words, which is the worst situation:
- schemaComplete is 'true' and the IF document is really not schema complete?
or
- schemaComplete is 'false' and the IF document is actually schema compete?
