------- Comment #2 from cmsmcq@w3.org  2006-08-02 17:05 -------
I'm happy to say that any operations performed with invalid
schemas are distinct (and must be distinguished) from 
schema-validity assessment as defined in the XSD spec.  I
think it would be a mistake to say that they are "not conforming",
because that can be taken, and will correctly or incorrectly 
be taken as meaning that such operations are in scope and are 
covered by the spec and directly violate some rule in the spec, 
rather than as meaning that such operations are outside the scope of 
the spec.

I agree with almost all of NM's comment, except for his
implicit suggestion that he objects to the alternate text 
proposed in the initial description because it says that
the spec has "nothing to say" on the matter.  Nothing in the
proposed text, and nothing in the description of the issue,
uses those words or anything equivalent to them.
