Re: Some questions regarding TM/XML

Hi Robert,

Not that I am aware of. In my implementations I use
"application/x-tm+tmxml" and as fallback "application/xml".

Yes, otherwise names and occurrences cannot be distinguished.

Example for a valid *occurrence*:

    <iso:topic-name>I am not a name</iso:topic-name>


> 3. Any new developments regarding TM/XML?

We changed the schema a bit to allow more freedom regarding the
ordering of identities etc., c.f.
<http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tmxml.rnc>

So, the latest version is 1.1
