https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15650

           Summary: Introduce schema test-construction rules in XSTS
                    schema document?
           Product: XML Schema Test Suite
           Version: 2006-11-06
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XSTS Schema
        AssignedTo: cmsmcq@blackmesatech.com
        ReportedBy: cmsmcq@blackmesatech.com

In June 2010 [1], Mary Holstege recommended 

(1) specifying clearly, in the XSTS documentation, how the schemaDocument
elements in the metadata and the schema documents in the actual test suite
should relate,

(2) adding some specific instructions for the construction of new test cases
(use distinct namespaces, don't use http schema locations, etc.)

(3) adding a method for characterizing schema-location handling in processors.

As of today, the documentation and instructions she suggested have not been
added to the XSTS schema document [2] (which is currently the closest thing we
have to detailed technical documentation for the text suite).  Should they be? 
If we decided this question earlier, we need a bug to remind us to make the
change. If we didn't decide it earlier, we should decide it now.

Since the document changes in (1) and (2) seem different from the schema
changes in (3), I'm opening this bug for (1) and (2) and another bug for (3).
