Question on XML Schema 1.1 [vc:maxVersion]

[Ramkumar Menon <ramkumar.menon@gmail.com>]

Gurus,

 

Two questions on the version control namespace in XML Schema 1.1.

 

 a) Why did we chose to have maxVersion be exclusive of the value?

     i.e. 

   <element name="Price" vc:minVersion="1.1" vc:maxVersion="2.4"/>

   Its tricky for a person to read this as

   "Price" element will be removed on pre-processing if we are using XSD version 2.4.

 

b) Are we assuming that version numbers for XML Schema MUST be decimals, now and later? Exposing terms such as minVersion and maxVersion indicate so.

 

rgds,

Ram.
