           Summary: Add new version tokens for schema-location behaviors?

In June 2010 [1], Mary Holstege recommended, among other things, adding a
method for characterizing schema-location handling in processors.

Her original proposal was for a version-characterization method somewhat
different from the one currently used in the XSTS schema [2], but I think it
can be translated into the current mechanism; this bug is to do that
translation and ask the WG whether we want to make that change or not.

- Add a new type ts:instance-schemaLocation-behavior for keywords describing
the behavior of processors in the presence of schema location hints in document
instances.  In theory, many values may be possible here, but for starters two
should suffice:  instance-schema-loc-follow and instance-schema-loc-ignore.

- Add a new type ts:import-schemaLocation-behavior for keywords describing the
behavior of processors in the presence of schema location hints in xs:import
elements.  In theory, many values may be possible here, but for starters two
should suffice:  import-schema-loc-follow and import-schema-loc-ignore.

I propose to add these types and these tokens to the XSTS schema, if the WG
agrees.  And then, as discussed in 2010, we can use them to disentangle
confusions or disagreements about the correct handling and description of tests
involving schema location behaviors.
