Sandro may correct me but I'm not aware of any specific rules on this so AIUI you're free to do as you wish. However... The doc in /TR space is the normative one - anything else is a copy/derivative and any disparity needs to be handled somehow. The fact that the QB namespace is in purl.org and published under a different licence makes the case even more strongly IMHO for one or other doc to be normative and, not surprisingly, I'd say that w3.org/TR is the one to choose. As well as the possible disparity issue, the /TR space doc includes a lot of explanation that is absent from the schema, with only some of that text marked as non-normative. If you have text that is normative in one doc and not in the other, they both can't be normative. Whether you choose to make any changes, let alone how and where you choose to link is, as I say, up to you as editor (modulo any requests from the WG). DanBri does it a little differently (http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/) - and that seems fine too, although, without wishing to keep labouring the point, it would need clarity on what was and what was not normative if it were in /TR space. At CR very little can be changed but providing a link to the schema at the top of the spec is something some people find useful. HTH Phil.
