Subject: Normative XML Schemas and Conventions in OASIS
I have a few questions, stylistic and substantive, that I welcome comments both off-the-cuff and elaborate…. 1) Schemas and types and conventions. Upper and Lower Camels. Types. Are there preferences? Hated approaches? 2) Machine readable conformance and restrictions, particularly when a derived schema imposes additional restrictions not present in the parent. I have received advice that XPATH assertions tied to schemas is the way to go. Is there any existing OASIS TC that has gone this route? Is there something else that you would suggest? Should such assertions fall into one of the RELAX families instead? 3) When working in a derived schema, do you prefer extensions or substitutions within XSD? Thanks in advice for any guidance. The IETF specification iCalendar, ad its derivative xCal, is about to get its normative XSD developed in OASIS which will be derived into WS-Calendar, which then will be used by EMIX and oBIX. With dominoes like that, I want to do this in a way that annoys as few future readers as possible. tc "If something is not worth doing, it`s not worth doing well"
