[relax-ng] New compact syntax draft

[James Clark <jjc@jclark.com>]

I've put a new compact syntax draft at

 http://www.thaiopensource.com/oasis/compact-20021104.html

I know of the following things that I have not yet dealt with:

1. Something needs to be said about base URIs; I think this is
straightforward (the environment needs to contains a base URI initialized
per the URI RFC and mapSchemaRef needs to use this).

2. I haven't dealt with prohibiting newlines in strings (as mentioned in my
previous message)

3. Something needs to be said about how the context of constructed elements
is determined from the environment.

4. Annotations elements and attributes still need to be prohibited from
having
the RELAX NG namespace URI:

Please check carefully to see whether there is anything else I have missed.

The choice of what named types to use is somewhat arbitrary.  I would
welcome feedback on whether (and if so what) additional named subtypes of
the xml base type would make the grammar easier to understand.
