Subject: Re: Associating schema with document

Although I have some > sympathy, I am not sure if such a mechanism is a good idea. I am NOT suggeting this as part of RELAX NG. I also don't think it is not a terribly good idea. I am suggesting it only as part of the compatibility spec, which is the home of several things like ID/IDREF and default attribute values, which, if I were master of the XML universe, I would probably not have created. My main point is that the facilities of the compatibility spec that modify the infoset specifically ID/IDREF and default attribute values will not be fully succeeding in their goal of providing compatibility with XML DTDs unless there is also a mechanism like XML DTDs for allowing instances to specify a schema *for compatibility processing*.
