Ken,

Greetings

I asked about this in the Atlantic TC call. Mavis of the NDR team was
present and could see nothing wrong with how we have it now
and no-one else either objected to keeping the 'schemaLocation' details
out of the instances since schema validation of these 'schema-like'
XPaths-instances would likely be a rare exception (in cases where
it is required there would likely be sufficient skill to still validate
without the 'schemaLocation' attribute within the instance).

So I agree too that we are OK leaving them out. Apologies for
delaying things with this issue but I guess it's as well to get these
things commented on internally before a more public review.

In this case then I guess we might soon be ready, after some
further changes (my action item) to index.html, for voting on this
as a submission to the TC.

Very many thanks

All the best

Steve
