Hi,
I thought of writing about the things happening around the SCD project.
We are planing not to support the following features for now with the
current implementation plan. If you have any suggestion, please let us
know.
1. the Schema Step. i.e. the SCP consisting of just '/'. [0]
According to the spec, we have to return the schema component for
'/', but since the current XSModel interface doesn't implement the
XSObject interface, we have no means to return the xsmodel as a schema
component. So, what we do right now is, just we return an empty list
for '/'.
2. the axis type, Extension axis [1]
3. Extension Accessors [2]
4. Fundamental Facets as schema components since still, they are not
exposed from any of Xerces's existing interfaces.
5. the top level Identity Constraint Definitions components. But we do
support this type of components if they are not at top level.
6. as I mentioned in an earlier discussion, we don't support Schema
1.1 constructs.

Looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks.
