RE: what is the replacement for xml:lang in CR version?

Komal,

If you change the schemaLocation to:

<xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/xml.xsd"/>

it should include a previous version of xml.xsd which conforms to the CR
rec.

  Assuming you are talking of xml schema specs,
  I am using xerces 1.3.1 which supports CR and not the final REC.
  I cannot upgrade to latest versions 1.4 for product-reasons,
  so does that mean I cannot use xml:lang until I move to REC supported
parser?

       when I import www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd, i get error saying global
attribute in xml.xsd should have use with value being default or fixed.

        This is not the correct way of using it though....
        If you want to use the xml:space or xml:lang attributes in your
schema you have to declare
        them by reference and import the XML namespace from W3C. You can't
"redeclare" the
        attributes as in the above schema.
        So, first you have to import the XML namespace using the import
statement like:

        <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
        schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>

        You also have to add a namespace declaration on your xs:schema
element. Like:

        <xs:schema
...xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"...>...

        No, you can reference the attributes defined by this namespace in
your own schema using:

        <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang"/>

        Hope this helps.
