Dear Curt,
The W3C XML Schema Working Group has spent the last several months
working through the comments received from the public on the last-call
draft of the XML Schema specification. We thank you for the comments
you made on our specification during our last-call comment period, and
want to make sure you know that all comments received during the
last-call comment period have been recorded in our last-call issues
list (https://www.w3.org/2000/05/12-xmlschema-lcissues).
Among other issues, you raised the point registered as issue LC-116,
which suggests that, quoting from your original note to the workgroup,
"Having declarations of schemaLocations anywhere in the document having
document scope, of course, seriously complicates event-based validation.
It would seem reasonable to require that schemaLocations appear before
the need for the corresponding schema information."
I am pleased to tell you that the workgroup has accepted your suggestion.
Specifically, the pertinent text likely to appear in the next working
draft of the structures specification is:
"xsi:schemaLocation and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation [attributes] can
occur on any element. However, it is an error if such an attribute
occurs after the first appearance of an element or attribute information
item within element information item initially assessed for schema-validity
whose [namespace URI] it addresses."
It would be helpful to us to know whether you are satisfied with the
decision taken by the WG on this issue, or wish your dissent from the
WG's decision to be recorded for consideration by the Director of
the W3C.
Thank you very much for your interest in our work.
Sincerely,
Noah Mendelsohn
