On behalf of the XML Schema Working Group we are pleased to announce the release of new Public Working Drafts for XML Schema: Structures [1] and XML Schema: Datatypes [2]. These working drafts incorporate substantial new material, and represent an important step forward. The following is an extract from the 'Status' section of both drafts: The WG believes this draft to be `feature-complete': the functionality included here is substantially complete and is expected to be stable. We do not expect to add major new functionality, or to make major changes to the functionality described in this draft. Some sections of the draft (in particular those on conformance), and some aspects of the design (in particular details of the transfer syntax for schemas), on the other hand, are still rough and are expected to be revised. The WG expects to spend January, 2000, working out details, clarifying points of uncertainty that arise in the review of this draft, cleaning up inconsistencies, reviewing the design of the concrete transfer syntax, and making editorial improvements. Following that period of review and polishing, it is the WG's intent to issue a Last Call for Review by other W3C working groups sometime during February, 2000, and to submit this specification in March, 2000, for publication as a Candidate Recommendation. This schedule may vary, depending on the comments of the public and of other W3C working groups on this draft. Such comments are instrumental in the WG's deliberations, and we encourage readers to review the draft and send comments to www-xml-schema-comments@w.... Although the Working Group does not anticipate further substantial changes to the functionality described here, this is still a working draft, subject to change based on experience and on comment by the public and other W3C working groups. The present version should be implemented only by those interested in providing a check on its design or by those preparing for an implementation of the Candidate Recommendation. _The Schema WG will not allow early implementation to_ _constrain its ability to make changes to this specification prior to_ _final release_.
