[dsdl-comment] Re: validate options in NVRL

I was one of the ones to ask for options, because Schematron needs them for
  1) overriding global parameters
  2) selecting phase

I don't have any great attraction to the idea that everything should be
a URL: for example sch:schema/@queryBinding is just a token not a URL.

But some people think it is valuable, and it certainly is a webby way to
do things. For example, SAX properties and features are URLs. I guess
the idea is that if an implementation makes a validator available, it
needs to also make URLs for any command-line options. The advantage of
this approach is also that it can make NVDL scripts more informative and
more portable (since the same functionality may have different details
on different implementations of the underlying validation engine.)

Cheers
