RE: [sca-assembly-editors] [NEW ISSUE] SCA Specification is missing XSD for <definitions/> and Conformance statements relating to <definitions/> and <contribution/>

Mike,

 

Shouldn’t these be main TC issues and not just the editors?

Subject: [sca-assembly-editors] [NEW ISSUE] SCA Specification is missing
XSD for <definitions/> and Conformance statements relating to
<definitions/> and <contribution/>

 

Target:
 sca-assembly-1.1-spec-cd02.pdf 

Raiser:  
     Mike Edwards 

Description:

1) The SCA
Assembly specification has a section describing Definitions declarations and
the <defnitions/> element, 

but there is no
section containing the formal XSD,, even though the sca.xsd in A1 contains an
import for it: 

<include schemaLocation="sca-definitions-1.1-schema-200803.xsd"/> 

2) The SCA
Assembly specification contains no conformance point requiring an SCA runtime
to accept <definitions/> 

documents - and
to reject documents that do not conform to the sca-definotions.xsd schema.

3) he SCA
Assembly specification contains no conformance point requiring an SCA runtime
to accept <contribution/> 

documents - and
to reject documents that do not conform to the sca-contribution.xsd schema.

Proposal:

1) Add a new
section, A.13 with the title sca-definitions.xsd containing the formal XSD for
<definitions/> 

2) Add a
conformance requirement into section 10, requiring SCA runtimes to accept
<definitions/> documents but 

reject
documents that do not conform to the schema. 

3) Add a
conformance requirement into section 12, requiring SCA runtimes to accept
<contribution/> documents but 

reject
documents that do not conform to the schema. 

Here is a
marked up revision of the CD02 spec containing detail of the proposed changes:
