That's out of scope, but you're mistaking classes for declarations.

Your example is a class. A class is a schema of possible contexts, not a

Declarations are specific instances. They usually would be expected to refer
to an XML file, but resolution is out of scope.

Yes.

I don't know what you refer to, the 2.0 spec is done.
