 In the case of schema it really depends on what kind of processing is being done. In general, most people I know feel that xsi:schemaLocation is a bad idea and are quite glad that it is merely a hint in the W3C XML Schema REC and not something required to be processed. Of course, currently there aren't applications that consume the PSVI so it isn't much of a problem seperating schema and XML instance although once they arise I may reconsider my position. For XQuery/XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0, I would still say nay to xsi:schemaLocation -----Original Message----- From: Eric van der Vlist [mailto:vdv@d...] Sent: Fri 9/27/2002 7:27 AM To: Dare Obasanjo Cc: Mike Champion; xml-dev@l...

However given the unique constraints of the XHTML working group I can see why they chose HLink as a solution and agree that something like it is needed for XHTML which is intended for use by non-technical people in a simple and straightforward manner without placing undue cognitive load. Let's add 3.) The W3C XML Schema way <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.org/whatever... Would you say it's a step backwards (or maybe two) if it leads to using a single namespace in the instance document and rely on datatypes compared to using a "namespace soup" and rely on element names ?
