> > Repeat after me: the schemas are non-normative. > As I see it, normative or not, incorrect schema is much worse then if there was no schema at all. If schemas don't reflect the actual specifications (and vice-versa), it would be better to remove them completely. They just confuse.
One example: If schema says it's sequence (and so it has a specified order), I let code read strictly in that order to save some processor time. That means anything out of order messes up reading of the stanza.
