Hi,
I've committed changes that treat xsi:schemaLocation and
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation as attributes of a special kind. Just
as we do for DOCTYPE declarations with different SYSTEM ids, trunk now
flags differences in them as a special kind (well two kinds) of
Difference which is recoverable.
One thing to be careful of if you are doing this for differences, is
that an implementation is free to ignore the xsi:schemaLocation and
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes, and supply it's own schema for
use in validation.
I haven't made uo my mind on xsi:type and xsi:nil. In particular for
nil I first need to understand the semantics more deeply before I can
decide whether the current handling (it is an attribute like any other
attribute) makes sense or not.
I would definitely not treat these as special attributes. Especially,
xsi:type (which many B2B Standards, i.e. Core Components based standards
are saying not to use). xsi:type can be used to override and substitute
another complexType definition in place of the one that was originally
specified. For many B2B situations, this allows deviation from the
standard, and may allow for a completely different structure showing up
than what has been defined.
These changes probably warrant a second beta before the final release.
Any possibility of setting it so that how these are treated is configurable?
