It is felt that the spec could be clearer in saying that when a QName in a schema document is intended to refer to a schema component in another namespace, then it's an error (violates a schema representation constraint) if there is no xs:import for that namespace, and this doesn't fall within the cases where unresolved QNames can be resolved later, or where schemas with unresolved QNames can be used provided the referenced component isn't needed. 21242 1 cmsmcq 2008-07-18 16:31:05 +0000 Discussed at the 17 July 2008 telcon. Yes, this should be clarified. 24666 2 cmsmcq 2009-04-13 00:21:12 +0000 A wording proposal intended to resolve this issue is at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.b5779.html (member-only link) I'm marking the issue needs-review, accordingly. 24803 3 David_E3 2009-04-17 16:51:52 +0000 5779: QName resolution and xs:import http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.b5779.html Summary: bug report requests clarification of rules regarding schema documents which refer to other namespaces without importing them. MSM's recommendation: not complicated but should be reviewed before adoption. 24870 4 sandygao 2009-04-20 21:29:21 +0000 During its 2009-04-17 telecon, the schema WG adopted the proposal in comment #2 to address this issue.
