I am NOT suggeting this as part of RELAX NG. I also don't think it is not
a terribly good idea. I am suggesting it only as part of the compatibility
spec, which is the home of several things like ID/IDREF and default
attribute values, which, if I were master of the XML universe, I would
probably not have created.
My main point is that the facilities of the compatibility spec that modify
the infoset specifically ID/IDREF and default attribute values will not be
fully succeeding in their goal of providing compatibility with XML DTDs
unless there is also a mechanism like XML DTDs for allowing instances to
specify a schema *for compatibility processing*.
