This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
4.2.4 References to schema components across namespaces (<import>) "Note: Some users of version 1.0 of this specification have mistakenly assumed that the primary purpose of the <import>..." Note says there are 2 purposes, but leaves the reader hanging as to what those two purposes are. Please add them. 4.2.4.1 Licensing References to Components Across Namespaces "without massive redeclaration of the default namespace either " Not seeing why redeclaration of the default namespace is itself a "massive" change (one line). It certainly has pervasive effects. Maybe just remove "massive" rather than baiting the reader into a religious argument. 5.2 Assessing Schema-Validity having consistent space before each <dt> would improve readability
In an effort to make better use of Bugzilla, we are going to use the 'severity' field to classify issues by perceived difficulty. This bug is getting severity=minor to reflect the existing whiteboard note 'easy'.
During the teleconference of 21 March 2008, the XML Schema WG adopted a wording proposal (the 'March 2008 omnibus proposal') which we believe resolves in full the issues raised in this bug report. The wording proposal can be seen at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.omni-200803.html (member-only link) Revision of the sentence about massive namespace redeclaration led to general restructuring of the paragraph containing it; the sentence itself was lost in that revision, a victim of collateral damage. The markup of section 5.2 was changed slightly in the hopes of improving the spacing; it does not show up as a colored change. John, as the originator of the bug report, I hope that you will agree that the changes shown in the wording proposal resolve these issues satisfactorily. If you do agree, please change the status of the bug report from RESOLVED to CLOSED; if you don't, please change it to REOPENED and let us know what's wrong. If we don't hear from you, we will after a decent interval (at least two weeks, but probably not until we think we are about ready to go to last call, so probably at least four) remember Paul Scofield as Thomas More saying "qui tacet, consentiret", and assume that your silence implies consent.
