I'd like to point out that all of our XML Schemas are
non-normative. They're provided for informational use, and ought
not be considered the absolute record of authority.
What follows is my understanding; we should probably have this
documented somewhere (a Tao Of XSF XEP?):
- The schemas in XEPs are not normative.
- We do, however, try to keep them aligned properly with the text,
and will accept bug reports with gratitude.
- The schemas in RFCs *are* normative.
- The IETF does, however, accept errata should they not match the
text or the intent.
So in both cases, we'd expect the schemas to be right, and welcome
fixes; technically, though, there's a distinction in normativeness
(normativity?) between RFC and XEP.
