Re: [chairs] Specification Namespaces? Standard XML Schema ValidationService

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com> was heard to say:
| Can we establish a standard validation service for all OASIS
| specification schemata, and require validation using this validation
| service for a Committee Draft (or Committee Specification if we change
| it back to that formulation to avoid confusion) and for Submission of
| a Committee Draft to OASIS for approval of a candidate standard?

I expect not. I can imagine TCs wanting to publish schemas in exactly
one of the following: SGML DTDs, XML DTDs, RELAX NG, W3C XML Schema,
Schematron, and perhaps a number of other things.

Naturally, I thinkj TCs should make sure that the schemas the publish
are valid against the schema that defines their schema language of
choice. But adding a formal process to assure this seems awfully
heavyweight to me.
