------- Comment #3 from popescu@ca.ibm.com  2007-10-30 19:58 -------
Removed inter-document references from the entire SML spec and replaced with
cross-document references/references that may cross document boundaries

Major changes :

1. Section 4 - XML Schema Extensions Defined by SML


>From :

References – XML Schema does not have any support for inter-document
references, although it does support intra-document references through xs:ID,
xs:IDREF, xs:key and xs:keyref. Inter-document references are fundamental to
SML since a document is a unit of versioning. SML extends XML Schema to support
references that may cross document boundaries, and a set of constraints on
those references that apply regardless of whether they cross document
boundaries or not.

To:

Cross-document references – XML Schema does not have any support for
cross-document references, although it does support references within elements
in the same document through xs:ID, xs:IDREF, xs:key and xs:keyref. References
between elements defined in separate SML model documents are fundamental to the
SML specification. SML extends XML Schema to support references that may cross
document boundaries, and a set of constraints on those references that apply
regardless of whether they cross document boundaries or not.


2. Section 4.1, third paragraph, just after the numbered list :

from :

An SML reference is a link from one element in an SML model to another element
from the same model.

To :

A reference in an SML model is a link from one element in the model to another
element from the same model , regardless of whether the elements belong to the
same document or not.

Reason : SML reference has a different definition under section 4.1.1.1
