> Description:
> The XML Schema Working Group is currently collecting use cases for
> versioning [2] and are likely to provide support for more 'open
> content'
> in Schema 1.1. This direction is supported by members of the WSD WG
> who would like WSDLs using Schema 1.0 to be able to describe message
> contents which may compatibly evolve within a given namespace.

> Abstract Proposal:
> WSDL could define how a type description relates to a message, either
> specifically for schema 1.0 or through a "schemaProcessingStyle"
> property.
> 
> That is a WSDL could describe how a schema processor should be
> employed
> when building or parsing messages. An example of such a processing
> style is a technique demonstrated by Henry Thompson [3] whereby the
> PSVI from a first pass validation of a message is processed to remove
> unexpected content from a message before validating the message again,
> thereby enabling more open message content.
