It would be good to know what exactly they do believe on this issue, as Dan has made several statements I read to the effect of what John Aldridge is claiming, and the recent trend toward putting schemas at namespace URI locations on the W3C site seems to reinforce that claim as well. So far as I know, TimBL hasn't come out and made any such claims, but they seem compatible with his thinking, to say the least. Simon St.Laurent XML Elements of Style / XML: A Primer, 2nd Ed.
