RE: About namespaces

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

I note in my last adventure with the Schema IDE, 
it took my namespace references and used them 
to create and insert an IMPORT statement.  If 
I didn't enable that, it took every <xhtml:p> 
and converted it to &lt; so it could continue 
validating.  This disturbed me because I wasn't 
expecting it to rewrite a file without telling 
me it was doing that, but that is also my 
unfamiliarity with the tool.  However, is this 
the strategy everyone expects because it says 
when creating an aggregate schema (in this 
case, using XTHML for inline <xsd:documentation> 
content, one should have access to the schemas 
to be used, and the namespace will be resolved, 
so the official namespace may not be the one 
to use or a catalog mapping is required.

What is the expected behavior?

As far as I know, there is no standard way of binding a schema to a
namespace without a document. The current approach is generally to bind a
document to a namespace using xmlns attributes AND to a schema using
different techniques (e.g. the DTD DOCTYPE element, attributes in a special
namespace for XDR and the W3C XML Schema).
