I understand that this addresses the needs of such systems that require their data to conform to a schema. However, this doesn't address systems where either validation is not supported (it is an optional XQuery feature), or the data model does not support PSVI. In these cases, the implementation would not want the revalidation mode to be set /more strict/ than the implementation defined default. I think that the specification should be rewritten to state that support for each revalidation mode is implementation defined. 13849 1 chamberl 2007-01-30 23:34:59 +0000 John, Thanks for your comment. The working group considered your suggestion on Jan. 30, 2007 and agreed to make support for each of the three revalidation modes implementation-defined. This change will be reflected in the next working draft of the update specification. Regards, Don Chamberlin (for the Query Working Group)
