And again, since the XSchema processor is already going to have to handle the task of expanding namespace references in the name attributes of ElementDecl elements, the PI is redundant and doesn't accomplish anything. The XSchema processor is in charge of that task. We could choose to use the less-accomplished PI instead of the XSC:Namespace element, but I see no benefits to doing that. If XSchema can do a better job for itself than the PI, I have no qualms about letting XSchema handle a task, as I had no qualms about doing a better job than DTDs currently can do. I think we're going in circles here, and no one else is joining in. If you want to include the extra PI, I don't think it'll do any damage. If anyone would like to join the discussion, I'd very much like to hear other opinions that might lead us out of this circle.
