------- Comment #5 from sandygao@ca.ibm.com  2007-09-19 17:34 -------
The change mentioned in comment #4 answer the immediate question about schemes
that use attributes, but the new text is assuming that schemes will always uses
some elements or attribute, which as far as I know has not been adopted as a
requirement for defining a scheme.

One example we discussed before is a scheme that always resolves to the root
element of the current document, where it doesn't depend on either elements or
attributes.

And a scheme may want to define its behavior in terms of a processing
instruction, which would seem to be a perfectly valid scheme.

Suggest to use something similar to:

"A reference scheme normally uses, but is not required to use, child elements,
attributes or both to capture ..."
