Description John Arwe 2007-10-10 20:53:59 UTC 
SMLIF's XML 1.0 requirement is currently phrased as floor=ceiling.
Should be floor=1.0, ceiling=unconstrained, as discussed at the August f2f.

current text:
An SML-IF document MUST:
    *      conform to XML [XML] specification.
    *      be valid under the XML Schema given in Appendix A.

Proposal: change this to 
An SML-IF document MUST conform to XML [XML] specification.  However, conforming implementations MAY additionally support later versions of the XML, XML Schema, Schematron or XPath specifications.
An SML-IF document MUST be valid under the XML Schema given in Appendix A.

Discussed 10/16/07 f2f and agreed to move to editorial.
Comment 2 Kumar Pandit 2007-10-19 23:34:49 UTC 
The proposed text was:
An SML-IF document MUST conform to XML [XML] specification.  However,
conforming implementations MAY additionally support later versions of the XML,
XML Schema, Schematron or XPath specifications.

actual change:
An SML-IF document MUST conform to XML [XML] specification.  However,
conforming implementations MAY additionally support later versions of the XML specification.

I have opened bug# 5215 to handle the schema/schematron/xpath issue.
