------- Comment #2 from ht@inf.ed.ac.uk  2007-04-02 08:49 -------
  "As shown, schema document is not valid because it lacks an import.

  "The specification is not ambiguous about this."

I don't agree.  The spec says, wrt this namespace, "All schema processors have
appropriate attribute declarations for these attributes built in".  We
certainly do _not_ require an import for the other namespace which is built-in,
namely the Schema namespace itself.  The spec. as written actually _does_
appear to require an import for http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema, in that
clause 4.2 of "Schema Representation Constraint: QName resolution (Schema
Document)" does not explicitly provide for any exceptions.

So until we clarify that _only_ the Schema namespace itself is special in this
regard, I think the spec. _is_ ambiguous, and should be fixed.
