05. Schema
Proposal:
The META spec should come along with a formal schema definition.
(SlavenRezic)
I am not so much concerned about a formal schema. But an official module
to validate, or purge bad data, would be great. otherwise users end up
having to write very defensive code (ie making sure hash/array references
are
as expected). being able to validate first will simplify code for many
people
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.
I like to see this process done in parallel. So it can be made sure that
the specification actually may be expressed as a formal schema.
As part of the implementation process, I would like to have an
"official" generator/parser-validator created.
If you have a schema, then the validator and generator are already
available. Nothing to do anything specially.
