Hello all,

Just recently i've looked at the OMG site, and there is a new XMI1.3
formal release,
together with the XMI 2.0.  I've  looked at the 1.3 spec and it is very
lean. 46 pages or so.
It contains only the rules for XML Schema production.
Does this mean that the XMI document production rules did not change
from 1.2 to 1.3??

More specifically: if we have a tool, which produces/consumes the XMI1.2
documents,
but doesn't produce/consume DTDs nor Schemas (e.g. simple UML tool), can
this tool
claim XMI1.3 compatibility?

Can anyone, with the more intimate knowledge of the OMGs XMI cooking
process, comment
on this? I think mr. Matula has some presence there? Do you know
anything about this, Martin?

Drat, the OMG specs are not very informative; and the
http://www.omg.org/issues/xmi-rtf.html#Issue3843 issue is needed badly
:-(

one more issue: on the xmi1.3 spec (formal/03-05-01) , 2.2.2 paragraph
(Fixed Schema Declarations), i see the  following:
<attribute name="xmi.version" type="string" use="required" fixed="1.1"/>

what about that XMI version number? shouldn't it be 1.3 instead, or at
least 1.2?
Or maybe this is intentional, and these Schema production rules do apply
to
XMI1.1 documments too?
