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.
