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 WG agreed in September 2008 that the editors should add pointers to the text of the spec, with both undated and dated forms. Suitable text explaining the dated/undated practice should be both in the text and in an annotation in the schema document. Text may be copied from the corresponding bits of xml.xsd (http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd). (Strictly speaking, this may apply also to Datatypes, but I'm only going to open the one bug for it.)
Wording proposals intended to resolve this issue are on the server at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.b6698.html http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-2/datatypes.b6698.html (member-only links) for review by interested parties.
The wording proposals mentioned in comment 1 were adopted by the XML Schema working group on its call today, with the following amendments and provisos: 1 Undated / mutable material should go into http://www.w3.org/2009/XMLSchema, not into the publication directory (as shown in the draft). 2 The editors are to prepare a revision of the namespace document at http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.html (a RDDL document) which includes pointers to relevant material for XSD 1.1. When things are ready, the staff contact will be responsible for installing things at their destinations.
