Re: [xml-dev] Need a language whiz: An XML Schema "specifies" howdata is

[Rick Jelliffe <rjelliffe@allette.com.au>]

An XML Schema describes certain document structures and data typing. The parties specify when, how and how much of it should be used.

A schema has no agency or will or knowledge of outcomes or intent. It reveals/reflects the relative power and attitudes of the various stakeholders.
