No, I think standards development has long had a role for technical corrigenda, certainly such is true for ISO standardization without changing the definition of the specification. >Maybe the >idea that the schemas in W3C XML Schema format are always the >normative ones doesn't hold up in all circumstances and exceptions >have to be made (either by the standards group or by the user >base or community). > >If you were living in Bosnia and producing a finance app with UBL >support would you want to have to include this without change or >wouldn't you just regard it as one (albeit 'standard') variant and >correct it in the app?
