The 12/17 draft includes a "thing" called schemaLocation that instance documents can use to specify how schemas are located. The wording explicitly allows something like what this patch does. Since we're a little ways away from conforming to the 12/17 draft, I'm inclined to accept this set of patches, but they are based on one patch that I've rejected. I'd be happy to have this go in if it were based on today's top of trunk.
George, could you please get me diffs for this and I'll integrate them. Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "George T.
