xml-dev - RE: Does DTD validation work with namespaces?

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

Aggregate valid.  Indicates that a definition of the 
aggregate set exists or that each contributor to the 
aggregate attests to the validity of the piece over 
which that contributor has a controlling record of 
authority.

See what happens when I go to Boston for a week 
and leave my mark in Harvard Hall.  I start to 
think I am a lawyer.

I agree that that is perfectly reasonable, but I don't think that it
is "valid" in the traditional sense. Maybe we need some new definition
of valid for this case, "mixed-namespace-island validity" or
something.

I understand that there are several possible ways to interpret
validity.  For my own, personal use, I'd only be happy with the above
scenario if there is a schema Z that references X and Y so that it
explicitly indicates in what content models the various mixtures are
allowed.
