FW: [xml-dev] Schema Namespace name, schemaLocation, and Schema V ersioning

[Mark Feblowitz <mfeblowitz@frictionless.com>]

Eric - Very interesting. 

And the follow-ups are interesting, too...

David Carlisle points out what Jeni mentioned - that namespace changes can
be quite messy:

	http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200103/msg00996.html 

In 
	http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200103/msg01021.html and
	http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200103/msg01035.html 

the COM solution mirror's Jeni's "proper version" suggestion. But that only
seems to apply to the schemaLocation (not namespace name), unless you keep
separate schema versions with different namespace names - yuck.


Thanks,

Mark

For what's worth, a link on the policy I am using for XSLTunit and
Examplotron (quite similar to what's been discussed here):
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200103/msg00995.html
Also, the main downside I have found for version attribute is for
vocabularies which are "embedded". Where would you locate a version
attribute for XLink or RSS in a document for instance? ...
Hope this helps.
Eric
