RE: [office] xsd:language datatype

["Duane Nickull" <dnickull@adobe.com>]

I want to ask a major question, perhaps a bit disruptive.

Has anyone ever discussed migrating ODF to W3C Schema from RELAX NG?

Subject: [office] xsd:language datatype

Hi all,

as agreed in the last con call, I've checked the 2nd revision of the XSD

datatypes recommendation

http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-2-20041028/

for changes that may effect the OpenDocument specification, that
references 
the first revision of the  XSD datatypes recommendation:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-2-20010502/


The only change I've found (at least so far) that effects OpenDocument
is the 
definion of the language datatye in section 3.3.3. It is now based on
RFC3066 
rather than RFC1766.

OpenDocument currently has an user defined language data type, which is 
specified to be the same as the xsd datatype, except that it is based on

RFC3066 rather than RFC1766.

I therefore propose that we reference the 2nd XSD datatype specification
in 
the future, and that we replace the definition of the "language" define
which 
currently is

<define name="language">
	<data type="token">
		<param
name="pattern">[A-Za-z]{1,8}(-[A-Za-z0-9]{1,8})*</param>
	</data>
</define>

with

<define name="language">
	<data type="language"/>
</define>
