    Subject: Re: [ubl] Namespace versioning


    I agree that it would be nice if the Schema version could be identified  
    separately to the namespace version, but the optionality of the W3C XML  
    Schema 'schemaLocation' attribute doesn't lend itself to robust  
    identification.  More importantly, what are we doing to do about  
    organisations that won't accept XML instances with a 'schemaLocation' due  
    to the security implications (i.e. that the 'schemaLocation' can point to  
    arbitrary URL with unknown results when something is downloaded from that  
    URL).
    
    Cheers, Tony.
