Arvola, And I countered with a proposal that I think addressed the issue without actually removing the schemaLocation section[1]. The point is (from my perspective) that we don't want to preclude use of schemaLocation (for any purpose) but that we don't necessarily want to encourage its use for the SOAP envelope.xsd since we really don't own this. We previously had an issue w/r/t the version of XSD that was used to create the schema document at the namespace URI, but we no longer have an issue so why are we continuing to recommend this practice. I would suggest that if anything, we say that the schemaLocation is: xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" If we replace what is at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-msg/schema/envelope.xsd with what is at: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ I'm okay with that too, but we still don't want to advertise this in the spec IMO.
