You are right but it makes perfect sense for transitory documents which exists only while it is moving from one place to another. Ability to redefine default attribute values should be enough of a benefit I think. >2) The above document is not well-formed. You need to wrap it in a container >element such as <log-stream>. Well, due to possible problems with missing root element's end tag (it ain't there if the log file is not closed), XLF data is parsed as a well-formed external entity like below. <!DOCTYPE xlf [ <!ENTITY logfile SYSTEM "iis-08031998.xlf"> ]> <xlf> &logfile; </xlf> >3) The semantics of how each successive XSchema affects the previous XSchema are >not well-defined (additive? total replacement? partial replacement?) and >probably won't be defined in XSchema 1.0.
