Re: How to Version XML Applications

/ "Anthony B. Coates" <abcoates@TheOffice.net> was heard to say:

You force the document to be self describing by adding a required
version attribute or element. If the attribute is present, you know
the version. If it's missing, the document isn't valid according to
its schema.
