[Bug 2924] Why a closed list of schema languages?

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=2924





------- Comment #2 from fsasaki@w3.org  2006-03-23 01:30 -------
This is the summary of the topic "Why a closed list of schema languages", which
we will discuss until next meeting.

Currently, ITS is defined within the ODD language, see
http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.odd . This document
contains both the prose description of ITS and the schema declarations.

>From the ODD document, schemas in the format of XML DTDs, XML Schema and RELAX
NG are generated automatically. However, these are not normative schema
modules, nobody is forced to use them.

To integrate ITS markup declarations in your existing or new schema (no matter
if it is written in the three languages mentioned above or another one), you
only have to make sur e that the positions of the schema declarations described
at
http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.html#conformance-product-schema
are respected.

Describing the conformance to ITS markup declarations in terms of the positions
in the existing or new schema, would resolve the bug which Eric reported.
