I think I need to explain this better... let me try again.
Assume a schema processor A, which do recognizes the
"my:secret:datatype:library" library. Assume another schema processor B,
which fails to resolve "my:secret:datatype:library".
It's nice if the fallback mode achieves the following property:
If a document is accepted by A, it is always accepted by B.
To do that, at least we need to abandon key/keyref check; we can't check:
- whether two keys are colliding each other
- whether there is a key for every keyref.
Also, I found that it needs to handle <except> pattern with unknown
<data/> differently. So that
<data type="string">
<except>
<data type="foo" datatypeLibrary="unknown"/>
</except>
</data>
would be treated as:
<data type="string">
<except>
<notAllowed/>
</except>
</data>
