Yes, that is my interpretation of Juerg's
analysis. And I see no reference in the XML
Catalog specification[1] for mapping a namespace
URI to a system resource. I've written to some
catalogue users off-line to see if I'm missing
something. If true, then it would be a feature
of an editing tool outside of support for the XML Catalog specification.
In oXygen I can configure precisely what I need
to edit the PRD3 genericode files: a mapping of
a namespace URI string to a schema location in
the absence of an xsi:schemaLocation attribute.
I hope someone can point us to this feature, if it exists, in XML Spy.
