Re: association of RELAX NG with a document

Hi,

I think it is important to both have an association with a schema specified
inside the document and the possibility to associate the schema externally.
The external association seems to me user dependent as each user may have
his rules while the internal association is something user independent as
the association comes with the document.
For instance if I want to pass over a document to someone it is a lot
simpler to allow him to validate the document if I have the association
inside the document. We solved the association problem in oXygen using a PI,
however it would be much better to have a PI every application that wants to
support Relax NG should implement, thus users using different tools will be
able to easily exchange documents. I think Relax NG should specify such a
PI. (It will be good if NRL will also specify such a PI).
I see the external association especially important when the user handles
documents that do not or should not have an association inside the document.

Best Regards,
 George
