Re: WebCGM 2.1 Relax NG schema asked Fwd: [Draft] Response to Last Call comment

Dear,

Please find a very rough first contribution to a Relax NG compact schema
based on the DTD based on the data available here  [1]

Please note that the extension mechanism used here is very similar to the
one used in the DTD

Please also note that the data typed could be further detailled here

This is supposed to have very similar behaviour as the DTD in terms of
validation results

It could provide a start for providing more precise validation into next
edition

Best regards,

Mohamed ZERGAOUI
