See (member-only link) http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/xmlschema-current/issues.html#inlineSchemaInfo (http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/xmlschema-current/issues.html#inlineSchemaInfo) : Issue 42. Input from Straw Poll O-11 NOTE 2002-08-02: there was some support at our face to face meeting for promoting this to desideratum, and some for removing it, and some for handling it as a clarification with erratum for XML Schema 1.0 Second Edition; there was most support for leaving it as an opportunistic desideratum. In the absence of consensus to move it, we left it alone. There was speculation that if we get good text for this, the WG might be willing to put it into 2E anyway. This item was resolved in the meeting of 2004-03-18 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Mar/0060.html), with the observation that it is already possible to use inline schemas and that a task force is working on the area. The WG eventually concluded that this could usefully be handled in a separate note. A draft has been prepared but not yet approved. Ashok Malhotra's draft of July 2003: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-wg/2005Mar/att-0022/InlineSchemas.html Henry Thompson's revision of the barename example: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2005May/att-0048/selfRef.xml (Both are member-only links.) 14631 1 cmsmcq 2007-04-02 14:43:56 +0000 The Working Group has discussed this at some length in the past, and (as reflected in the description) concluded that the right way to deal with the problem is to describe the options in a separate Note. Putting s discussion into the primer is another possibility. Rather than take the time to create a different component to enable us to track this as a requirement for a separate note, I'm going to change it from Structures to Primer. (This is not to be interpreted as a final decision that the topic must be dealt with in the primer.)
