Title: RE: [ebxml-msg] Re: [ebxml-cppa] Re: v. 2.0 ebXML xsd schema directory

Chris

I looked at the schema and noticed the following text ...

  <xs:documentation>In keeping with the XML Schema WG's standard versioning
   policy, this schema document will persist at
   http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd.
   At the date of issue it can also be found at
   http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd.
   The schema document at that URI may however change in the future,
   in order to remain compatible with the latest version of XML Schema
   itself.  In other words, if the XML Schema namespace changes, the version
   of this document at
   http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd will change
   accordingly; the version at
   http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd will not change.

In the light of this should we be using http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd instead as it is guaranteed not to change?

A couple of points. I'm glad that this was found.
At the time of the ebXML 1.0 specs, (at least the
time when the authoring was on-going) this didn't
exist, hence the reference to an oasis-open.org URI.

However, I just tried resolving the URI that Arvola
would like to refrerence and I get a 403. I imagine
that this is probably not desireable.

Suggest instead that the URI referenced be:

http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd

Cheers,

Chris
