I agree, but I always include in any definition that semantic interoperability must be maintained as well. So even though the schema may still validate the data, it has to pass further compliance constraints outside of the validation. I would also add that Schematron will run into the same issue as well..particularly if the meaning of elements and attributes change. > Accordingly, I am raising caution to the common fallacy: "If my XML > Schema is backward-compatible then my application can process old > instance documents." > > Do you agree? >
