What is needed a a profile spec that describes the constraints on and subset of XML Schema. -- Regards, Farrukh >Thanks, DW > >----- Original Message ----- > > >>Time to Rethink XML Schema? >>Jack Vaughan, Application Development Trends >> >>Profiles are useful as they distill the experiences of bleeding-edge >>implementers.
