Great questions... > 3. Make the schemalocation hint manditory to provide, and manditory to > dereference for Schema-Loading, WRT XPointer. This option really scares me! This (as has been mentioned on this list several times) means that the document instance controls its own destiny-- which may be good in some situations but very bad in others (e.g. discovering network topology). Also, performance comes under the gun-- if a browser maker has a local copy of a schema that is used as an override then manditory dereferencing is overkill... that may be a red-herring though. So yes, very concerned....
