Re: Chameleon includes and wildcard intersections

Hi,

The following question is directed to the authors of XSV.

The intersection of the wildcards in this test is reported
by XSV to be:

wildcard(not [u'urn:test:foo', None, u'urn:test:bar'])

Can you expain this?
Although I learned that, in XML Schema 1.1, intersections
of multiple negated namespaces will probably be allowed,
what's the sense in moving to XML Schema 1.1 in XSV? How
can an author assure that a schema is processed in the 1.0
way? I see a source of confusion here if the people use
XSV, which seems to allow 1.1 thingies, and then wonder
why the schemata are not accepted by other processors.

Regards,

Kasimier
