CAP v1.2 schema(s) issue

All,

 

The CAP Public Review Draft 02 dated 29 September 2009 [0] contains
a schema in section 3.4.  Call this the "schema in the
document."  The document claims that Section 3 is normative, and
there is no exception noted for the schema.

 

OASIS also provides that schema separately in [1] and [2]. 
Call each these identical schemata the "free-standing schema."

 

Unfortunately, the schema in the document is different from the
free-standing schema.  In addition to a host of insignificant whitespace

changes:

 

(a) the types of the <altitude> and <ceiling> elements
are different (xs:string in the free-standing schema vs. xs:decimalstring in
the schema in the document; note that decimalstring is not part of the XML
standard schema definition); and

 

(b) the <mimeType> element is optional in the schema in the
document and required in the free-standing schema

 

So which schema is correct and/or normative, and
will OASIS fix this problem when CAP v1.2 moves from Public Review Draft status
to Standard status?  

 

We would like to use the free-standing schema (draft), but is this
correct?
