Fraser, The Open Travel Alliance is also "discussing" this topic and has proposed some guidelines. I don't want to bombard this list with documents that may have limited interest, so e-mail me privately if you would like the OTA materials.

This is currently a 'hot topic' in my organisation and there are (as usual) a number of contradictory views. Some want to use version attributes and others version information within namespace declarations. Some want to utilise validating parsers as much as possible, others are content to perform validation processing differently. Everyone is trying to come up with a way of minimizing the impact of changes to both the schema(s) being changed, instance documents and any other schemas or XSLTs, etc.. which may 'include/import' them or contain bindings. Of course versioning doesn't just apply to schema's, we also need to version other artefacts (WSDLs, XSLTs, etc.) but it is schemas which most people seem to want to discuss. Can anyone offer some advice from their own experience which may help us decide.
