DITA 2.0: Will we ship XSDs?

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

We've talked about this a few times, but we've never come to a decision.

Reasons to not ship XSDs

• We cannot generate them automatically from the RNG.

Reasons to ship XSDs

• Editors such as Xopus/SDL Content Editor, XEditor, FontoXML use them. Of course, SDL reworks the XSDs, so the argument is less compelling there.

Thoughts? Extra lists to add?
