> But the following technologies have been created to only utilize one of them > (XML Schemas): Well, it kinda makes sense that W3C working groups would favor a W3C schema language. One of the things each WG does is make sure it has reaction and feedback from others in the w3c. I don't think there's anything sinister about it, just limited time and resources. > a. XSLT > b. XPath You must be talking about the 2.0 versions, right? Since the current standard XSLT and XPath are schema-ignorant. > c. XQuery Do any of those other schemas have a type system? I thought the only place XQuery cared about schema was datatypes. > d. SOAP I don't see this at all. Yes, SOAP 1.1 had SOAP RPC, which involved a twisted use of Schema; at the time it was written there was only XSD, and even then it was a draft. In SOAP 1.2, the RPC encoding is completely removed from the core, and not even specified. SOAP 1.2 is based on the Infoset, explicfitly *not* the XSD post-schema validation Infoset. So how is SOAP tied to XSD? > e. WSDL WSDL 1 was pretty tied to XSD. WSDL 2 tries very *very* hard to be schema-neutral. It doesn't seem consistent to complain about the 2.0 versions for a,b,c but ignore 2.0 for e. :) (For what it's worth, I think WSDL 2 went the wrong way in doing this, as I wrote about for xml.com) > The W3C seems to be sending a clear message, "if you're not XML Schemas then > you're not invited to the party". /Roger I think that's both petty and unfair. /r$ -- Rich Salz Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gateway http://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html XML Security Overview http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xmlsecurity.html
