Arvola, I guess you refer to: I suggest that this sentence be struck out. The schema must be in sync with the specification because implementers will directly use the schema in their implementations. in reference to the sentence: Note: if inconsistencies exist between the specification and this schema, the specification supersedes this example schema. I disagree. The spec must take precedence over the schema in the appendix. If there is a discrepancy, we must change the schema. After we publish v1.1 with the schema in the appendix, we can no longer make changes to the v1.1 spec but we can still make changes to the schema. I will make this change if the group decides you are right and I am wrong. Anyone? Regards, David.
