Re: [xml-dev] Draft of W3C Note available for review: Associating Schema

[Stephen Green <stephengreenubl@gmail.com>]

Could this go any way, perhaps, to solving
the subset problem mentioned in previous
thread?
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200908/threads.html#00318

Here I asked about ways to instruct processors
to regard an instance as one modeled as a subset
of a schema such that the instance should be valid
both by the schema and by some definition of the
subset (which could be Schematron or a list of
XPaths, say).

Best regards

Steve
