The discussion revealed a surprising aspect of schema that is correctly portrayed in the article. I see no need for change in the article. I have found the discussion helpful. It is unclear to me whether the self-selecting group on www-international is the target audience of the FAQs. I suspect many audiences will accept the current FAQ's instruction to declare xml:lang in an XML Schema. (The observation that you can refine the definition to say restrict the acceptable languages may be pertinent to such an audience) Jeremy
