RE: [Bug 4630] Clarify relation of SML and XML 1.0 vs 1.1

I agree with Pratul's comments regarding the last para. I'm not sure how
best to reword the "investigat the possibility of applying" part.
Something tells me MSM will have a suggestion. I suggest the pharase
"most recent editions" be changed to "later versions" since the workd
"version" is used in W3C specs, and because if we use the phrase "most
recent" in might be interpreted as "the most recent but not 2nd most
recent" by some.

The first para states that SML uses a profile of XML Schema 1.0 - which
is not true any longer. I also don't understand the phrase "and defines
datatypes depending on definitions in XML 1.0" - the SML datatypes are
based on XML Schema 1.0 and not XML 1.0

I am not comfortable with the last para since we are not providing any
guidance on how the "most recent versions" should be used. Plus, the
para appears to be redundant since the 2nd para has already made it
clear that implementations can use newer versions of the spec.

------- Comment #3 from popescu@ca.ibm.com  2007-09-06 15:58 ------- I
have created a new section in the SML document defining the relationship
between SML and XML, XML Schema, XPath and Schematron :

3. Dependencies on Other Specifications
Other specifications on which this one depends are listed in
[Normative-References].

This specification is a profile of XML Schema 1.0 [XML Schema
Structures, XML Schema Datatypes] and defines datatypes depending on
definitions in XML 1.0 [XML 1.0]. SML uses a profile of Schematron
[ISO/IEC 19757-3] and XPath 1.0 [XPath 1.0] for defining rules.

Conforming implementations of this specification MUST support XML 1.0
[XML 1.0], XML Schema 1.0 [XML Schema Structures, XML Schema Datatypes],
Schematron [ISO/IEC 19757-3] and XPath 1.0 [XPath 1.0]. However, the
current specification does not impose any restrictions on using newer
versions of the XML, XML Schema, Schematron or XPath specifications.

Conforming implementations are encouraged to investigate the possibility
of applying the most recent editions of the [Normative-References]
indicated below.
