[dsdl-discuss] Re: Validation process (was: Re: Some thougts on Part10

Mohamed/Rick

Not sure what James' rules are, but to me there is a clear priority between the three cases stated in the unlikely event that more than one of them occurred in a single document:

1) An explicit doctype declaration must take precedence over anything that is specified on the root element that follows it.
2) Presuming that the PI precedes the root element then it must take precedence over anything specified in the root (but anywhere else it must be ignored because the root has already been parsed)
3) Attributes on the root only take precedence if there is no previously identified schema definition.

  By the way. A couple of years back the Oxygen people told me they would
  be happy to adopt James Clark's conventions from his editor for
  selecting a schema. I think it is a good place to start, because it is
  implemented and has appeal to more than one implementer.
