[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Maybe a naive question about XML Data
Peter Zinqq asked whether or not to use the XML-Data schema notation shipped with IE5. That depends on your needs and timeframes. The IE5 MSXML parser supports both DTD and XML-Data. DTDs are supported by a wider range of parsers, so you have a greater degree of interop, if replacing parsers is important to you. XML-Data uses XML syntax and supports namespaces and datatypes, if that is important to you. I expect that future MSXML parsers will continue to support notations. But that brings me to mention the work going on in the W3C: The XML schemas activity is working on defining the next generation of schema notation, and the shopping list of features includes all the features presently available from XML-Data in MS IE5, and more. (I expect that future MSXML parsers will support the future schema notation.) So a lot depends on the exact features you need and where (MSIE or other parsers) and when (now or later) you need them. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
