Description Michael Kay 2007-01-02 16:10:41 UTC 
In the Microsoft "schema" test set, 

   <test group="schD8" name="schD8"/>

the schema contains

	<include schemaLocation="file://"/>

The schema is described as valid, on the basis that failure to resolve the schemaLocation is not intrinsically an error.

However, I believe that file:// is an invalid xs:anyURI value, and that this schema therefore violates the schema-for-schemas. The clause saying that failure to resolve the URI is not an error does not license the use of an invalid URI.
Comment 1 Zafar Abbas 2007-02-02 19:30:59 UTC 
Agreed that this test outcome should be invalid. We are following up with the WG to determine the process of updating the test suite.
Comment 2 Henry S. Thompson 2010-01-27 11:17:33 UTC 
I'm not sure whether this test makes sense, given that URI-checking is not 
required. . .  I would argue we should remove the test, not change the outcome 
to invalid
Comment 3 Henry S. Thompson 2010-01-29 15:44:51 UTC 
Actually, another case for the mooted 'implDep' marking
Comment 4 David Ezell 2010-05-21 17:05:02 UTC 
WG decided that the existing URI is invalid, and that we replace it with a valid URI that doesn't resolve.  As such, this test would be valid for either 1.0 or 1.1.
