During today's meeting it was suggested that I should produce some sample wording illustrating what I meant when I suggested that the definition of 'schemaComplete' should ideally be more declarative and less imperative than in some other possible formulations. I attach a sample showing several possible changes to the spec: introduction of the term 'SML-IF model validation', some additions to the informal description to mention the definition of that concept, and a very rough approximation to the new section in 5.2 that Ginny suggested would be the right place to put the definition of the meaning of schemaComplete. In the interests of allowing concrete discussion, I have included three possible descriptions of the meaning of schemaComplete: one using the MUST NOT wording, one using a more declarative wording, and one using the declarative wording and adding the additional content we discussed today as 'level 2' (the idea that schemaComplete = true entails an assertion that the schema 'has what is needed' for full validation). Additionally, I have added two forms of a non-normative note intended to make clearer some of the consequences of the definition. The first form of the note is intended to clarify the consequences of today's 'level 1'; the second form goes with 'level 2'. --CMSMcQ
