Re: [xml-dev] Need a language whiz: An XML Schema "specifies" howdata is to be structured? "describes"? "constrains"?

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.

Rick
