http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5476 ------- Comment #1 from mike@saxonica.com 2008-02-13 09:20 ------- I hate the word "hint" with its connotation of "do whatever you feel like". I would prefer this to read: If directed to do so, for example by the invoking application or by command line option, processors should attempt to dereference each schema document location URI in the ·actual value· of such xsi:schemaLocation and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation [attributes] It's not really a substantive change because choice of defaults is up to the API designer, but it sets expectations differently. There are some validators out there that require you to add an xsi:schemaLocation attribute before you can validate the instance. I would love to make that illegal, though on balance I'm happy to let the market decide whether it wants such products or not. But I certainly think we should set the expectations a bit differently.
