Schemas at Xindice

[Diogo Fernando Veiga <ve...@inf.ufsc.br>]

Are there any information about using schemas over collections in 
XIndice, in future versions?

Thanks,

Schemas are bound to the document in which they're referenced, and can 
be processed independently of a collection context.  Are you suggesting 
constraining a collection to documents of a specific schema or schemas?

The problem I see with this is that we then become married to XML 
Schemas, which many people still have 'issues' with.  I'd prefer the 
database remain schema-independent, and to allow the developer to 
decide which schema/validation language they want to employ at the 
application level, at least for the time being.
