ISSUE-42

schema version and ID attributes as a basic pattern

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Basic
Raised by:
Paul Downey
Opened on:
2006-05-04
Description:
A number of standard schemas in the wild use the 
schema element version and ID attribute to provide
versioning information.

Whilst neither of these attributes provide standard semantics,
they don't seem to be the source of any interoperability issues 
being ignored by most, if not all, current databinding tools.

Proposal

allow xs:schema/@version and xs:schema/@id as an optional Basic 
patterns with the design consideration "these attributes
carry no particular semantics with regards to databinding".
