Doug, No, we don't have to ratify both the text and the schema. The v1.0 group validated only the text with an EXAMPLE schema in an appendix. I suggest, we should follow that path. All we have to ratify is the text. I am looking for, but have not yet found, an example of a standard in which code takes precedent over the words. Is there such a thing? All the ones I have looked at so far are specifically the reverse. Perhaps we should pull the schema out of the spec and have it as a separate, non-normative document? Regards, David.
