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

Or, to put it in language similar to Roger's 8 statements,

0. A schema describes how data is to be structured, and may be used to constrain that structure.

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.
