[dsdl-discuss] Re: First draft of Schematron spec (Schematronin one defun)

It is an attribute on the sch:schema element. There are reserved values currently.
"xslt" is the default.

I don't think it is useful to use URLs for this purpose. The only purpose of
a URL is to promote frustration, as people type the wrong thing in, as far
as I can see. Also, which URL should it be? The user would expect it
to be the URL of the query language, but what it really needs to be is
the URL of the query language binding.

I tend to see this kind of binding as operating more positively than negatively:
just as with RELAX NG datatype libraries, validators will implement one or two
bindings and sophisticated users will make inhouse or custom-job bindings, so
most of time the purpose of the identifier is just a filter to filter out uncommon bindings.

I guess this is a policy thing: I don't have strong opinions, since there is a default.
Probably James loves the idea of lots of URLs :-)

Cheers
Rick
