RE: [emergency] DE and well formed XML

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Lee,

 

These design time artifacts really do not belong in the instance schema themselves.

 

We've solved this in the CAM realm by use of an optional <DataReference> section (non-normative currently).

 

The idea is that the DataReference can point to external definitions and custom XML markup - for the kind of purposes you envision.  This can be at template level, or right down to element and attribute.  The use of UID references also allows definitions across schemas - so that common content need only be referenced once.

 

Obviously you do not want this kind of content impeding into the actual exchange transactions and production content.

 

The Appendix B documentation available from the OASIS CAM TC documents gives further details.

 

Thanks, DW
