RE: XML Extensibility and versioning

Due to an error on my part, XML.com did not get the final version of the article. The final version is available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnexxml/html/xml07212004.asp 

A description of the differences between both articles is at http://blogs.msdn.com/dareobasanjo/archive/2004/07/28/200264.aspx
