oops, I meant to include the email in which I made
a proposal to address the schemaLocation section.
Since it isn't archived, here is the relevant fragment
from the email I sent to David, Ian, Arvola and Doug:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
*** w/r/t section 2.3.2, I think that its removal in whole is uncalled
for. I would propose
the following alternative approach:
1 - delete lines 620-639
2 - modify line 640 as follows:
In addition, ebXML SOAP Header and Body extension element content must
may be similarly qualified so as to identify the location where
validating parsers can find the schema document containing the ebXML
namespace qualified SOAP extension element definitions.
3 - modify example at line 651 as follows:
<SOAP:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-msg/schema/envelope.xsd" >
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheers,
Chris
