1.1. Purpose of this document

The purpose of this document is to describe a modularization framework for languages within the XHTML Namespace using XML Schema [ XMLSCHEMA ].

The Modularization of XHTML [ XHTMLMOD ] specifies well-defined sets of abstract modules that can be combined and extended allowing the creation of a new XHTML-family document types that are portable among XHTML-family user agents. This document provides XML Schema implementation of the abstract modules defined in Modularization of XHTML [ XHTMLMOD ]. In addition to the schema modules themselves, the framework presented here describes a means of further extending and modifying XHTML.

To a large extent, the modularization framework presented here attempts to duplicate the modularization concepts used in XHTMLMOD. Here and throughout this document, the term "XHTMLMOD" is used to refer to [ XHTMLMOD ]).

2. Terms and Definitions

This section is normative .

This document is the XML Schema implemantaion of abstract modules defined in XHTML Modularization [ XHTMLMOD ] and terms used in the document are defined in Terms and Definitions section of XHTML Modularization [ XHTMLMOD ].

3. Conformance Definition

This section is normative .

This document is the XML Schema implemantaion of abstract modules defined in XHTML Modularization [ XHTMLMOD ] and defines conformance requirements as defined in Conformance Definition section of XHTML Modularization [ XHTMLMOD ]

A. Building Schema Modules

This chapter is normative .

This chapter contains instructions on how to define XML Schema modules that are compatible with the XHTML Modularization implementation via XML Schema [ XMLSCHEMA ]. This is in an appendix so that it can be a drop in replacement for the corresponding appendix in XHTML Modularization [ XHTMLMOD ].

XHTML Schema modules are implemented as fragments. When these fragments are assembled in a specific manner (described in Developing Schemas with defined and extended modules ), the resulting Schema is a representation of a complete document type. This representation can then be used for validation of instances of the document type.

The key to combining these fragments into a meaningful, cohesive Schema is the rules used to define the fragments. This section defines those rules. When these rules are followed, markup language authors can be confident that their modules will interface cleanly with other XHTML-compatible modules.

Modules conforming to these rules also need to satisfy the conformance requirements defined in XHTML Family Module Conformance of XHTML Modularization [ XHTMLMOD ] in order to be called XHTML Family Modules .

A.1. Named Content Models

This specification classifies named content model into categories and names them consistently using the following suffixes

.content
model group definitions use the suffix .content when they are used to represent the content model of an element type.
.class
model group definitions use the suffix .class when they are used to represent elements of the same class.
.mix
model group definitions use the suffix .mix when they are used to represent a collection of element types from different classes.
.extra
model group definitions use the suffix .extra when they are used to extend other groups above.
.type
named complex type definitions use the suffix .type when they are used to represent type of an element.
.attlist
attribute groups use the suffix .attlist when they are used to represent the attributes for a specific element.
.attrib
attribute groups use the suffix .attrib when they are used to represent a group of tokens representing one or more complete attribute specifications within an .attlist declaration.

For example, in HTML 4, the %block; parameter entity is defined to represent the heterogeneous collection of element types that are block-level elements. In this specification, the corollary named content model is Block.mix .

When defining named content model in the classes defined here, modules should scope the names of the model group definitions and attribute groups by using unique prefixes. For example, the content model for the element myelement in the module mymodule could be named myelement.content . Other schemes are possible. Regardless of the scheme used, module authors should strive to ensure that named content model they define are named uniquely so that they do not collide with other named content model and so that the interface methods for the module are obvious to its users.

A.2. Defining the Namespace of a Module

XHTML requires that the elements and attributes declared in a module be within a defined XML namespace [XMLNAMES] . The identification of this namespace is an arbitrary URI. XHTML requires that when a module is implemented using an XML Schema, the module declare its target namespace.

A.2.1. Global and Local Element Declarations

While XML Schema allows an the definition of global and local element declarations, to be compatible with DTD definitions of XHTML Modularization module implementations must not declare local elements.

A.2.2. Global and Local Attribute Declarations

While the approach defined here permits the definition of global as well as attributes declarations, schema authors should consider the consequences of such definitions on an document instance. Global attributes must always be explicitly prefixed in a instance document by declaring a namespace prefix xmlns:prefix , while local attributes depending on the schema implementation may be be explicitly prefixed.

A.3. Content model Redefinitions

Quite often modules change the content model of elements defined by other modules. For example, XHTML Events module add event attributes to element defined by forms module. It is also possible multiple modules may change the content model of a single element defined by a third module, for example both XHTML Events Module and XHTML Image Map module add attributes to elements in form module.

XML Schemas allows for changes to a declared content model using the redefine element. While XML Schema supports redefine element that redefines the named content model and type definition, XML Schema does not directly support redefintion of an element or attribute declaration.

To support element content model redefinitions,

B. Developing Schema with defined and extended modules

This chapter is informative .

The primary purpose of defining XHTML modules and a general modularization methodology is to ease the development of document types that are based upon XHTML. These document types may extend XHTML by integrating additional capabilities (e.g., [SMIL] ), or they may define a subset of XHTML for use in a specialized device. This section describes the techniques that document type designers must use in order to take advantage of the XML Schema implementation of this modularization architecture. It does this by applying the XHTML Modularization techniques in progressively more complex ways, culminating in the creation of a complete document type from disparate modules.

Note that in no case do these examples require the modification of the XHTML-provided module file entities themselves. The XHTML module file entities are completely parameterized, so that it is possible through separate module definitions and driver files to customize the definition and the content model of each element and each element's hierarchy.

Finally, remember that most users of XHTML are not expected to be XML Schema authors. XML Schema authors are generally people who are defining specialized markup that will improve the readability, simplify the rendering of a document, or ease machine-processing of documents, or they are client designers that need to define the specialized markup language for their specific client. Consider these cases:

B.1. Defining additional attributes

In some cases, an extension to XHTML can be as simple as additional attributes. Schema authors should an provide the attribute definitions for each attribute, for example:

<xs:attributeGroup name="myattrs.attrib">
    <xs:attribute name="myattribute" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:attributeGroup>

would declare an attribute "myattr" and attribute group "myattrs.attrib" in the target namespace of the schema ("xs" is the prefix for XML Schema Namespace). Authors should note that the attribute is created as local attribute (as part attribute group) Alternatively, declaring an attribute by placing the attribute declaration as direct child of schema element creates an Global attribute (and would require the document instances to use a qualified attribute names such as xlink:show). For a discussion of qualified names and Namespace prefixes, see Defining the Namespace of a Module .

To add this attribute to the content model of an element, the attribute group (that makes the content model of the element) would need to be redefined to include the new attribute. for example:

<xs:redefine schemaLocation="xhtml-hypertext-1.xsd">
    <xs:attributeGroup name="xhtml:a.attlist">
        <xs:attributeGroup ref="xhtml:a.attlist"/>
        <xs:attributeGroup ref="myml:myattrs.attrib"/>
    </xs:attributeGroup>
</xs:redefine>

where "xhtml" is the prefix for XHTML Namespace. The schema modularization requires such redefinitions be defined as part of the markup language definition and the strategies for those are addressed in the later sections. Naturally, adding an attribute to a schema does not mean that any new behavior is defined for arbitrary clients. However, a content developer could use an extra attribute to store information that is accessed by associated scripts via the Document Object Model (for example).

B.2. Defining additional elements

Defining additional elements is similar to attributes, but a typical XHTML module would define the element as a global element (as a direct child of schema element) Schema authors should first write the element declaration for each element:

<!-- In the myml-module-1.xsd -->
<xs:group name="myelement.content">
    <xs:choice>
        <xs:element ref="myotherelement"/>
    </xs:choice>
</xs:group>
    
<xs:attributeGroup name="myelement.attlist">
    <xs:attribute name="myattribute" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:attributeGroup>
    
<xs:complexType name="myelement.type" mixed="true">
    <xs:choice>
        <xs:group ref="myelement.content" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
    </xs:choice>
    <xs:attributeGroup ref="myelement.attlist"/>
</xs:complexType>
  
<xs:element name="myelement" type="myelement.type"/>

The element "myelement" is declared in the target namespace of the schema document and "xs" is the prefix for XML Schema Namespace. After the elements are defined, they need to be integrated into the content model. Strategies for integrating new elements or sets of elements into the content model are addressed in the next section.

B.3. Defining the content model for a collection of modules

Since the content model of XHTML modules is fully parameterized using named content models, Schema authors may modify the content model for every element in every module. The details of the schema module interface are defined in Building Schema Modules . Basically there are two ways to approach this modification:

  1. Re-define the named content model, .content, for each element.
  2. Define one or more of the global named content model entities to include the element in those named model definitions (normally via the named content model, .extras ).

The strategy taken will depend upon the nature of the modules being combined and the nature of the elements being integrated. The remainder of this section describes techniques for integrating two different classes of modules.

B.3.1. Integrating a stand-alone module into XHTML

When a module (and remember, a module can be a collection of other modules) contains elements that only reference each other in their content model, it is said to be "internally complete". As such, the module can be used on its own; (for example, you could define a schema that was just that module, and use one of its elements as the root element). Integrating such a module into XHTML is a three step process:

  1. Decide what element(s) can be thought of as the root(s) of the new module.
  2. Decide where these elements need to attach in the XHTML content tree.
  3. Then, for each attachment point in the content tree, add the root element(s) to the content definition for the XHTML elements.

Consider attaching the elements defined above . In that example, the element myelement is the root. To attach this element under the img element, and only the img element, of XHTML, the following redefinition would work:

<xs:redefine schemaLocation="xhtml-image-1.xsd">
    <xs:group name="img.content">
        <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
            <xs:element ref="myml:myelement"/>
        </xs:choice>
    </xs:group>  
</xs:redefine>

Such redefinition must not included in the module definitions, but instead provided as part of the markup model definition. A schema defined with this content model would allow a document like the following fragment:

<img src="...">
  <myml:myelement >This is content of a locally defined element</myml:myelement>
</img>

It is important to note that normally the img element has a content model of EMPTY . By adding myelement to that content model, we are really just replacing EMPTY with myelement . In the case of other elements that already have content models defined, the addition of an element would require the restating of the existing content model in addition to myelement .

B.3.2. Mixing a new module throughout the modules in XHTML

Extending the example above, to attach this module everywhere that the %Flow.mix content model group is permitted, would require something like the following in the schema that defines the document model of the document type:

<xs:redefine schemaLocation="xhtml11-model.xsd">
    <xs:group name="Misc.extra">
        <xs:choice>
            <xs:group ref="Misc.extra"/>
            <xs:element ref="xhtml:myelement"/>
        </xs:choice>
    </xs:group>
</xs:redefine>

Since the %Misc.extra content model class is used in the content model the named model Misc.class, and that named model is used throughout the XHTML modules, the new module would become available throughout an extended XHTML document type.

B.4. Creating a new Document Type

So far the examples in this section have described the methods of extending XHTML and XHTML's content model. Once this is done, the next step is to collect the modules that comprise the Document Type into a schema driver and schema file that provides the content model redefinitions of included modules, incorporating the new definitions so that they override and augment the basic XHTML definitions as appropriate.

B.4.1. Creating a simple Docoment Type

Using the trivial example above, it is possible to define a new schema that uses and extends the XHTML modules pretty easily. First, define the new elements and their content model in a module:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/xmlns/simpleml1"
           xmlns="http://www.example.com/xmlns/simpleml1">

  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentation>
      This is the XML Schema module for module SimpleML
      $Id: simpleml-module-1.xsd,v 1.3 2003/09/23 21:13:11 speruvem Exp $
    </xs:documentation>
    <xs:documentation source="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-copyright-1.xsd"/>
  </xs:annotation>
    
  <xs:attributeGroup name="Common.attrib">
    <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:ID"/>
  </xs:attributeGroup> 

  <xs:group name="otherelement.content">
     <xs:sequence/>
  </xs:group>
  
  <xs:attributeGroup name="otherelement.attlist">
    <xs:attributeGroup ref="Common.attrib"/>    
  </xs:attributeGroup>
  
  <xs:complexType name="otherelement.type">
    <xs:group ref="otherelement.content"/>
    <xs:attributeGroup ref="otherelement.attlist"/> 
  </xs:complexType>
  
  <xs:element name="otherelement" type="otherelement.type"/>
  
  <xs:group name="element.content">
    <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
      <xs:element ref="otherelement"/>
    </xs:choice>
  </xs:group>
  
  <xs:attributeGroup name="element.attlist">
    <xs:attributeGroup ref="Common.attrib"/>    
  </xs:attributeGroup>
  
  <xs:complexType name="element.type">
    <xs:group ref="element.content"/>
    <xs:attributeGroup ref="element.attlist"/> 
  </xs:complexType>
  
  <xs:element name="element" type="element.type"/>
    
  <!-- Note: Global attribute -->
  <xs:attribute name="myattr" type="xs:string"/>

</xs:schema>

Now, define the schema module that redefines the content model of modules included in XHTML Basic 1.0

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:simpleml="http://www.example.com/xmlns/simpleml1">

  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentation>
      This is the XML Schema that redefines the
      individual XHTML modules (image module) and
      redefines a named content model of XHTML modularization
      $Id: simpleml-module-redefines-1.xsd,v 1.2 2003/09/23 21:13:11 speruvem Exp $
    </xs:documentation>
    <xs:documentation source="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-copyright-1.xsd"/>
  </xs:annotation>
    
  <xs:redefine schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-basic10-model-1.xsd">
    <xs:group name="Misc.class">
      <xs:choice>
        <xs:group ref="Misc.class"/>
        <xs:element ref="simpleml:element"/>
      </xs:choice>
    </xs:group>
  </xs:redefine>
 
  <xs:redefine schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-image-1.xsd">
    <xs:attributeGroup name="img.attlist">
       <xs:attributeGroup ref="img.attlist"/>
       <xs:attribute ref="simpleml:myattr"/>
    </xs:attributeGroup>  
  </xs:redefine> 
  
</xs:schema>

Now, define the schema driver for the new language:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/xmlns/simpleml1"
           xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"           
           xmlns="http://www.example.com/xmlns/simpleml1"
           blockDefault="#all">

  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentation>
      This is the XML Schema Driver for new 
      Document Type XHTML Basic 1.0 + SimpleML
      $Id: simpleml-1_0.xsd,v 1.4 2003/09/23 21:13:11 speruvem Exp $
    </xs:documentation>
    <xs:documentation source="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-copyright-1.xsd"/>
  </xs:annotation>
  
  <xs:include schemaLocation="simpleml-module-1.xsd"/>
  
  <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
             schemaLocation="simpleml-module-redefines-1.xsd"/>
  
  <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
             schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-basic10.xsd"/>
  
</xs:schema>

B.4.2. Creating a Language by extending XHTML

Next, there is the situation where a complete, additional, and complex module is added to XHTML (or to a subset of XHTML). In essence, this is the same as in the example above, the only difference being that the module being added is incorporated in the schema by reference rather than explicitly including the new definitions in the Schema.

One such complex module is the Schema for [MATHML] . In order to combine MathML and XHTML into a single Schema, an author would just decide where MathML content should be legal in the document, and add the MathML root element to the content model at that point. First, define a new document model that instantiates the MathML Schema and connects it to the content XHTML content model by redefining the XHTML content model. Providing a redefintion of the XHTML content model by implication includes the XHTML content model in the new document content model :

<!-- File: math-model.xsd -->
<xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" 
            schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/Math/XMLSchema/mathml2/mathml2.xsd"/>

<xs:redefine schemaLocation="xhtml11-model.xsd">
    <xs:group name="InlSpecial.class">
        <xs:choice>
            <xs:group ref="InlSpecial.class"/>
            <xs:element ref="math:math"/>
        </xs:choice>
    </xs:group>
</xs:redefine>

Next, define a Schema driver that includes our new dcoument content model and hands off processing to the XHTML 1.1 driver (for example):

<!-- File: xhtml+mathml.xsd -->
<xs:include schemaLocation="mathml-model.xsd"/>

<xs:include schemaLocation="xhtml11.xsd"/>

B.4.3. Creating a Language by removing and replacing XHTML modules

Another way in which Schema authors may use XHTML modules is to define a Schema that is a subset of an XHTML family document type (because, for example, they are building devices or software that only supports a subset of XHTML). To do this simple create a Schema driver that does not include the relevant modules. Schema author should note that redefine in schema by default includes all the content modelof the referenced schema, authors should also not include any redefinitions of modules that they do not wish to include. The basic steps to follow are:

  1. Take an XHTML family Schema as the basis of the new document type (e.g. XHML 1.1).
  2. Select the modules to remove from that Schema.
  3. Physically, remove include elements that include the non relevant modules from the Schema driver file.
  4. Physically, remove redefine elements that redefine any non relevant modules from module redefinitions file.
  5. Introduce some new modules

B.4.4. Creating a the new Document Type

Finally, some Schema authors may wish to start from scratch, using the XHTML Modularization framework as a toolkit for building a new markup language. This language must be made up of the minimal, required modules from XHTML. It may also contain other XHTML-defined modules or any other module that the author wishes to employ. In this example, we will take the XHTML required modules, add some XHTML-defined modules, and also add in the module we defined above.

The first step is to define a module that defines the elements and attributes using the XHTML provided template .


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/xmlns/myml"
           xmlns="http://www.example.com/xmlns/myml">

  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentation>

    </xs:documentation>
    <xs:documentation source="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-copyright-1.xsd"/>
  </xs:annotation>

  <xs:annotation>

       PCDATA content.        
    </xs:documentation>
  </xs:annotation>
  
  <xs:attributeGroup name="myotherelement.attlist"/>
  
  <xs:group name="myotherelement.content">
    <xs:sequence/>
  </xs:group>
  
  <xs:complexType name="myotherelement.type">
    <xs:group ref="myotherelement.content"/>
    <xs:attributeGroup ref="myotherelement.attlist"/>
  </xs:complexType>
     
  <xs:element name="myotherelement" type="myotherelement.type"/>
  
  <xs:group name="myelement.content">
    <xs:choice>
       <xs:element ref="myotherelement"/>
    </xs:choice>
  </xs:group>    
  
  <xs:attributeGroup name="myelement.attlist">
       <xs:attribute name="myattribute" type="xs:string"/>
  </xs:attributeGroup>
    
  <xs:complexType name="myelement.type" mixed="true">
     <xs:choice>
        <xs:group ref="myelement.content" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
     </xs:choice>
     <xs:attributeGroup ref="myelement.attlist"/>             
  </xs:complexType>    
  
  <xs:element name="myelement" type="myelement.type"/>
  
  <!-- Note: Global attribute -->
  <xs:attribute name="myattr" type="xs:string"/>  

</xs:schema>

Now, build a content model description that hooks the new elements and attributes into the other XHTML elements. The following example is patterned after the XHTML Basic content model, but is a complete, free-standing content model module:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:myml="http://www.example.com/xmlns/myml">

      XHTML Document Model

      This module describes the groupings of elements/attributes that make up
      common content models for XHTML elements.

      XHTML has following basic content models:

          Inline.mix;          character-level elements
          Block.mix;           block-like elements, eg., paragraphs and lists
          Flow.mix;            any block or inline elements
          HeadOpts.mix;        Head Elements
          InlinePre.mix;     Special class for pre content model
          InlineNoAnchor.mix;  Content model for Anchor
      
      Any groups declared in this module may be used
      to create element content models, but the above are
      considered 'global' (insofar as that term applies here).
      
      XHTML has the following Attribute Groups
           Core.extra.attrib

Once a new SCHEMA has been developed, it can be used in any document. Using the Schema is as simple as just referencing it in the schemaLocation attribute of a document root element:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:myml="http://www.example.com/xmlns/myml"
      xmlns:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml myml-1_0.xsd">
<head>
<title>An example using defaults</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is content in the XHTML namespace</p>
<myml:myelement>
  This is content in the myml namespace.
  <myml:myotherelement />
</myml:myelement>
<p><img src="missing" alt="Missing image" myml:myattr="value" /></p>
</body>
</html>

C. XHTML Schema Module Implementations

This appendix is normative .

This appendix will contain implementations of the modules defined in XHTML Abstract Modules via XML Schemas. These module implementations can be used by XHTML Family Document Types.

C.1. Character Entities

XML Schema uses DTDs to support character entities. The DTD implementation of XHTML Modularization [XHTMLMOD] defines the required character entities for XHTML. The schema implementation includes the set of character entities for XHTML, including the Latin 1, Symbol and Special character collections defined as part the DTD implementation of XHTML Modularization [XHTMLMOD].

Even though the named character entities are defined using DTDs and included in the Schema Modularization Framework, schema processors typically do not expand the named character entities in an XML document instance. The html DOCTYPE declaration must still be present if one wishes to use named entities defined by this Framework module

C.2. XHTML Schema Modular Framework

The Framework modules instantiates a set of support model that define the common Datatypes, Notations, Common attribute definitions and character entities. These are are defined in a set of support modules, instantiated by a main Framework module:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
