    <thetext>In June 2010 [1], Mary Holstege recommended 

(1) specifying clearly, in the XSTS documentation, how the schemaDocument elements in the metadata and the schema documents in the actual test suite should relate,

(2) adding some specific instructions for the construction of new test cases (use distinct namespaces, don&apos;t use http schema locations, etc.)

(3) adding a method for characterizing schema-location handling in processors.

As of today, the documentation and instructions she suggested have not been added to the XSTS schema document [2] (which is currently the closest thing we have to detailed technical documentation for the text suite).  Should they be?  If we decided this question earlier, we need a bug to remind us to make the change. If we didn&apos;t decide it earlier, we should decide it now.

Since the document changes in (1) and (2) seem different from the schema changes in (3), I&apos;m opening this bug for (1) and (2) and another bug for (3).

    <thetext>From the telcon, from Mary&apos;s email at [1] in the bug report:
star 1 - accept
star 2 - overtaken (we use &apos;known-token&apos;), but ignore/follow should be added to our list of implementation defined behaviors.
star 3 - ok, but needs more discussion.</thetext>
