I assume its the natural one, at the end of the apppropriate URL. Alternatively there should be a mechanis, like xsi:schemaLocation for specifying it. As a third possibility the application just knows. Any single schema should be clear enough, i.e. it is a bug with the schema if it is not possible to decude which *range* should be used. A system for selecting the schema then resolves the "different people say different things" problem. Jeremy
