RE: [ebxml-bp] Schema file names ATTENTION 28 March 2006

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Monica,

 

Good summary. 

 

Minor nit - I think this wording is clearer - 

Old     o Should an implementer desire to resolve to other than the
           latest schema, a specific schema should be requested.

New   o Should an implementer desire to resolve to other than the
           latest schema, that specific schema can be directly referenced.

Thanks, DW
