The comment on the change is:
Initial Design thoughts for XML Schema 1.1

New page:
Overview

XML Schema 1.1 [1][2] specifies a new version of the W3C XML Schema definition 
language which offers facilities for describing the structure and constraining 
the contents of XML documents. Among the many changes being introduced in XML 
Schema 1.1 are improvements to support better versioning of XML languages 
defined using XML Schemas and a facility for specifying co-occurrence 
constraints (see sections 3.12 [3] and 3.13 [4] of Structures) using XPath 2.0 
expressions. Schema 1.1 also introduces four new built-in datatypes: a new 
decimal type (precisionDecimal) which retains information about the precision 
of the value and three others (anyAtomicType, dayTimeDuration and 
yearMonthDuration) to align with the type system defined for XSLT 2.0 and 
XQuery 1.0.  A detailed list of changes since XML Schema 1.0 is available here 
[5] and here [6].

Design Thoughts

Xerces-J 2.10.0 should provide experimental support for the features defined in 
the XML Schema 1.1 specification. The design of the new XML Schema 1.1 
componentry should minimize the performance impact on the existing XML Schema 
1.0 implementation.
