The Process document does not cite ad-hoc modifications to a normative schema as possible way to make changes to a Recommendation. It also seems this is a new feature; as explained in the Process document, you have to go through the whole Recommendation Track process to add new features. It is at best unclear what this is supposed to imply. The published Recommendation makes it perfectly possible to use e.g. the xml:id attribute on XForms elements, while this is rather non-trivial if they suddenly have an "id" ID attribute also. So even if the XForms Working Group would follow the W3C Process and propose this change to the Membership and the community at large, it's not likely to be accepted. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
