[heads up] schema for checking SVG+ARIA documents

Henri,

One of the things that SVG is concerned about, as regards the
WAI-ARIA embedding in host languages, is that the profile be
checkable for SVG authors.

So on the Hypertext CG call last Friday I accepted the action
to ask you for a schema.

http://www.w3.org/2008/05/23-hcg-minutes.html#action02

Unfortunately, I only understand the gross purpose of this
schema and not the specific detailed requirements.  In addition,
I think the time is not quite ripe while PFWG is considering
a revision to the relevant section of the spec.

But I want to get the request on your radar screen.

Doug, would you refresh us on the feasible range and preferred
precise choice in terms of a schema dialect would be most helpful
to SVG?

Henri, we have Chaals's language under consideration

.. but aside
from a general idea that we like the general sound of how he
explained it to the TAG it's not even editor's draft text yet,
so if there is work involved it could be premature to do it
*right* now.  Clearly there is room for more bumps in the road
to Rec but right now is a relatively unstable moment.
