Title: RE: [topicmapmail] XML Schema for XTM DTD

Couldn't the OASIS TM community *recommend* an XSD version?
There are many use cases when a schema is necessary today - do we like this or not.
We should not wait until all the "rest of the standard settles out".

I think Max Voskob has posted a valuable draft yesterday. It looks quite reasonable as a schema.
But I am not the XTM expert. Did anyone test it with a given XTM?
