XML Schema 1.1 Support in Xerces

[Michael Glavassevich <mr...@ca.ibm.com>]

Hi everyone,

In the upcoming release of Xerces-J we are planning to include a partial 
experimental implementation of XML Schema 1.1 [1][2].  Similar to how we 
had been exposing DOM Level 3 support, we plan to offer this under a 
separate build target in the Ant build file.  The standard distribution 
would continue to only support XML Schema 1.0 until such a point where it 
would be appropriate to incorporate 1.1.  Right now it isn't clear how the 
two would coexist, for instance, whether 1.0 or 1.1 validation would be 
controlled by a feature or whether the spec would specify such behaviour. 
For now when building under the new target, the parser generated would 
always validate against the rules of XML Schema 1.1.

Thanks.
