Subject: Re: Issue: language name
Message text written by Michael Smith >I'd like to propose that the official name of the language should include "XML Schema"-- e.g. "RELAX XML Schema". I think the fact that the W3C XML schema offering is called simply "XML Schema" has managed to confuse a lot of people-- so much so that lots of introductory books and articles fail to even acknowledge that there are other schema/validation languages written in XML syntax. I think that including "XML Schema" in the official name of TREX/RELAX would make it clear to potential users exactly what it is, and help to position the language in the way it seems like it is going to be positioned-- as an alternative to the W3C XML schema language. <<<<<<<<<<<< Michael, Really, really excellent point. We may want to pin this down even tighter - Schema Structure System? RELAX-SSS. and put the emphasis on separation of structure from all the other baggage that people are inadvertently buying if they purchase W3C Schema. DW.
