The one thing that I do want to avoid is the situation we have with the XLink schemas. On that side, there is a spec for XLink contents, but no normative schemas, and popularly-used schemas all have issues and problems, such as creating types and attribute groups that do not appear in the specification. A concrete URL of a specific XSD schema would be very useful, as opposed to referencing "the schema for the XML namespace". > The Core WG plans to address the C14N issues, but we don't feel > that such plans need to be in the xml:id specification. Agreed. But sooner is definitely better, since we have lead times for vetting upcoming releases. -- Webb Roberts (webb.roberts@gtri.gatech.edu) Research Scientist, Georgia Tech Research Institute Atlanta, GA 404-385-0181
