I'm comfortable about the text regarding position.

The last sentence regarding version= of 
<xsd:schema> (which, BTW, is not actually 
specified using xsd:version=, but that's what I'm 
assuming is being referenced) was just brought to my attention.

The schemas from GEFEG currently state:

   <xsd:schema ... version="2">

Lines 735-738 of NDR-2006-07-12-unmarked.doc 
states that "combined major and minor version 
information is captured within the xsd:version 
attribute of the xsd:schema element."

And rule VER12 would indicate this has to be version="2.0".

I will add this to my massaging stylesheets 
unless someone speaks up and tells me I'm missing something.
