Subject: RE: Fallback mechanism for the datatype
I am trying to understand your last statement. Are you saying that if a RELAX NG schema uses a datatype library that a processor does not support, the processor isn't required to validate any document against that schema? -Mike -----Original Message----- From: James Clark [mailto:jjc@jclark.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 4:15 PM To: Michael Fitzgerald; RELAX NG List Subject: RE: Fallback mechanism for the datatype Saying it may report a warning is vacuous and misleading: a RELAX NG processor can give a warning any time it feels like it; it doesn't need permission from the spec. The net result is that if a schema uses a datatype library that a validator does not support, then the validator is not required to be able to determine whether a document is valid with respect to the schema. This is what I think the spec should say. --On Tuesday, July 31, 2001 10:18 AM -0700 Michael Fitzgerald <mike@wyeast.net> wrote: > I interpret Makoto's paragraph differently.
