Submitter Not Satisfied – No Appeal

While the submitter is not completely satisfied with the negotiated resolution to the following bugs, the submitter is sufficiently satisfied that no formal objection is expected.

5518

Why are rules allowed on both element declaration and type definitions

The working group concluded that the facilities coming in XML Schema 1.1 would be insufficient to satisfy the use cases envisioned for SML, with SML needing a more general and flexible mechanism.

5561

SML should define a Simple XLink Reference Scheme

Issues involved are very similar to those for 5562, for similar reasons.

5562

SML should define an XHTML href Reference Scheme

The WG spent considerable time discussing this bug and reached the conclusion that a fix will require fundamental changes to the design of SML and the  benefits of defining an XHTML reference scheme are likely to be very modest. Therefore, the WG decided to not fix this bug .  Comment #3 in the bug has a detailed analysis of this issue and the rationale for WG’s decision to not fix this bug.
