I like the idea of a formal schema, but don't see it as a critical priority, since it doesn't change the spec. Once we have 2.0 "done", then a formal schema could be tacked on and it's still 2.0. As part of the implementation process, I would like to have an "official" generator/parser-validator created. -- David
