Hi, I think these are fairly different things. Checkpoint 1.3 means that rather than making up a new kind of markup for doing something, schema authors should use things that are accessible methods. This topic is being followed up already in another thread on this list [1] Checkpoint 4.2 is requiring that from a given document there is a way of finding the schema. The rationale for this is to allow for validation of a document, and also because we expect the schema to have documentation that would allow an author or user to get more information about what kind of element something is - what does it mean, what is it for, what kind of content can it have, etc. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-xtech/2002Jun/0042 cheers Chaals On Thu, 20 Jun 2002, Charles McCathieNevile wrote: This question is forwarded with permission from Astrid Callista Isn't (checkpoint 4.2 [1]) the same as checkpoint 1.3 [2] mentioned above?
