The ns= is used to formalise the uniqueness and the 'ownership' of the namespace, e.g. xml.org.cml might create a global identifier for CML. The src= field does not necessarily have to point to the same document globally. This is obviously required for firewalls, but could also be valuable if the implementation language in the src= file could vary (e.g. Perl, Java). Of course it shouldn't act as a pseudo-stylesheet mechanism. > [...] >In other words, perhaps rather than concentrating on the nature of documents >(since XML already has a model built-in) or of assertions (like RDF, since >good theory does not guarantee usefulness--remember Prolog) perhaps Xschema >should situate itself as being useful in some definite parts of workflows. Oh dear. I don't *do* any workflow :-) I deal with information components. I hope XML isn't simply seen as a document management system - it's a new step in capturing knowledge through componentised information. XSchema will help us define what these components are and help manage them.
