| 4. The NDR checklist still contains [ATD6] "Each xsd:schemaLocation 
| attribute declaration URL MUST contain an absolute
| path."  yet the schemas don't do this. i thought mark had written some 
| words for this?

I believe you're thinking of this exchange:

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200403/msg00187.html
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200403/msg00188.html
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200403/msg00189.html

Doesn't look like we got any language out of it, though.

Here's what I'm going to put into the checklist unless I hear
differently:

   [ATD6] Each xsd:schemaLocation attribute declaration URL MUST
   contain an absolute path. NOTE: Pending the storage of the UBL
   schemas in the OASIS registry and the assignment of persistent
   URIs, relative URIs have been used in the current release. See
   Appendix G.2.1 for further details.

By the way, shouldn't the original rule have said URIs or URNs
rather than URLs?  Just asking...
