[sca-assembly-editors] [NEW ISSUE] SCA Specification is missing XSD for <definitions/> andConformance statements relating to <definitions/> and <contribution/>

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Target:  sca-assembly-1.1-spec-cd02.pdf

Raiser:        Mike Edwards 

Description: 

1) The SCA Assembly specification has a section describing Definitions
declarations and the <defnitions/> element, 
but there is no section containing the formal XSD,, even though the sca.xsd
in A1 contains an import for it: 

<include schemaLocation="sca-definitions-1.1-schema-200803.xsd"/>

2) The SCA Assembly specification contains no conformance point requiring
an SCA runtime to accept <definitions/> 
documents - and to reject documents that do not conform to the sca-definotions.xsd
schema. 

3) he SCA Assembly specification contains no conformance point requiring
an SCA runtime to accept <contribution/> 
documents - and to reject documents that do not conform to the sca-contribution.xsd
schema. 

Proposal: 

1) Add a new section, A.13 with the title sca-definitions.xsd containing
the formal XSD for <definitions/> 

2) Add a conformance requirement into section 10, requiring SCA runtimes
to accept <definitions/> documents but 
reject documents that do not conform to the schema.

3) Add a conformance requirement into section 12, requiring SCA runtimes
to accept <contribution/> documents but 
reject documents that do not conform to the schema.

Here is a marked up revision of the CD02 spec containing detail of the
proposed changes:
