Title: RE: intertwined specs Simon, The manner in which these specs are intertwined is: 1. XPath and XQuery will be using a common data model for XML
In the long run, I think that the Schema Formalization effort, based on the earlier MSL work (), is a key player in allowing the data model and algebra to be defined in terms of Schema types. So what is the problem? > Once, long ago, I wanted the W3C to make sure its
Well, I'm not sure that reuse really does increase complexity. Wouldn't it be more complex and confusing if each specification used a different data model and type system, or if path expressions had different meanings in XPath and in XQuery? Or is your concern that the type system of XML Schema adds complexity to the rest of the W3C standards that support it? Are you saying that other W3C specs should not support schema? Please give some examples where XQuery seems too complex to you because of its support for XML Schema types. Jonathan
