xm parsing
Precisely, and it behooves the programmer to find 
out what contracts will be in effect over a given 
documented transaction.  In some cases, the bits 
on the wire are not author-driven or consumer-driven. 
They are the document-in-transit and may be controlled 
by a schema for that only.  When authored, they are 
authored to the local system requirements, may be 
transformed for the in-transit document, and then 
may be transformed again for the consumer's requirements.
This is one reason for pipelined processes and 
orchestration/choreography.

In short, it may not be the case that one schema rules 
all aspects of the information lifecycle.  In my 
experience, that is seldom the case where there 
are several parties using that information.  Of course, 
that raises the stakes for PSVI systems and users 
to be sure that data meets expectations.  Processors 
that silently alter these can cause trouble.

Not necessarily.  A schema may also indicate the requirements of the
consumer, to which the author must conform or else.  Consider who is
the schema creator, and who is the author, the next time you fill out
some bureaucratic form or other.
