Hi, Most processors I'm familiar with allow some sort of association of schemas with namespaces via the API so that one can have a list of schemas maintained by the API seperate from the actual Schemas, allowing the Processor to take care of scenarios such as Schema # 1 uses xsd:any with processContents= strict when content of the document at the point where xsd:any is allowed is in namespace x without Schema #1 referencing Schema #2 which validates x directly. This basically gives the same capability that one can have with xsi:schemaLocation at the instance to the application. The thing I'm wondering about is, is this capacity defined anywhere in the XML Schema specs? I'm looking in "4 Schemas and Namespaces: Access and Composition" http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#composition and I can't find anything. Anywhere else? Different Processors seem to implement this differently, and it doesn't seem to me to be the kind of thing that one would require of a spec, thus my question. Hope this question was clear. Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen
