This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The last call working draft (Part 1) has in the front matter a link whose visible text is "Independent copy of the schema for schema documents". This link takes you to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd, which appears to be the 1.0 version of the S4S, and not a copy of the S4SD published as Appendix A.
In an effort to make better use of Bugzilla, we are going to use the 'severity' field to classify issues by perceived difficulty. This bug is getting severity=minor to reflect the existing whiteboard note 'easy'.
Thank you. I believe this has now been fixed, at least temporarily. In the fresh copy of the status quo document now being generated, the link should correctly point to the version of the schema for schema documents published in the same directory as the spec itself. (Special handling will be needed when the spec advances further and people begin expecting to see the schema for schema documents available by dereferencing the namespace name; I think that should be regarded as part of bug 1974.) [Pause.] [Long pause.] [Really long pause, while I generate several new status-quo documents, each failing to incorporate the fix.] The new status quo document has been generated, and the link now, finally, works for me, or seems to (but document maintainers are notoriously easy to fool in such cases). So I'm optimistically marking the issue RESOLVED. Michael, if you could check to make sure the link works correctly for you, and then close the issue (or not, if it's still broken), I'd be grateful. [For the record: the problem proved more difficult than expected to fix in part because the editorial production system used an ad hoc Perl program to perform entity expansion, and that program was not picking up the correct entity definitions. Brute force eventually won, once I figured out where to apply it.]
