RESOLVED: Remove sentence two of para 2 of Appendix A as drafted (The schema element defines a new schema.), change subsequent sentence to Since this schema document describes the XML Schema language, the targetNamespace attribute on the schema element refers to the XML Schema namespace itself. RESOLVED: to amend sentence 1 of paragraph 2 of appendix A to read Like any other XML document, schema documents may carry XML and document type declarations. An XML declaration and a document type declaration are provided here for convenience.
These changes were made in the status quo document of 16 December 2005. So I'm marking this resolved. (It should have been marked resolved on 16 December, but I didn't realize a separate issue had been opened for these changes.)
