[NEW ISSUE] SCA Specification is missing XSD for <definitions/> andConformance statements relating to <definitions/> and <contribution/>

Target:  sca-assembly-1.1-spec-cd02.pdf

Raiser:        Mike
Edwards

Description:

1) The SCA Assembly specification has
a section describing Definitions declarations and the <defnitions/>
element,

but there is no section containing the
formal XSD,, even though the sca.xsd in A1 contains an import for it:

<include
schemaLocation="sca-definitions-1.1-schema-200803.xsd"/>

2) The SCA Assembly specification contains
no conformance point requiring an SCA runtime to accept <definitions/>

documents - and to reject documents
that do not conform to the sca-definotions.xsd schema.

3) he SCA Assembly specification contains
no conformance point requiring an SCA runtime to accept <contribution/>

documents - and to reject documents
that do not conform to the sca-contribution.xsd schema.

Proposal:

1) Add a new section, A.13 with the
title sca-definitions.xsd containing the formal XSD for <definitions/>

2) Add a conformance requirement into
section 10, requiring SCA runtimes to accept <definitions/> documents
but

reject documents that do not conform
to the schema.

3) Add a conformance requirement into
section 12, requiring SCA runtimes to accept <contribution/> documents
but

reject documents that do not conform
to the schema.

Here is a marked up revision of the
CD02 spec containing detail of the proposed changes:
