About the XML namespace
This schema document describes the XML namespace, in a form
suitable for import by other schema documents.
See
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.html and
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml for information
about this namespace.
Note that local names in this namespace are intended to be
defined only by the World Wide Web Consortium or its subgroups.
The names currently defined in this namespace are listed below.
They should not be used with conflicting semantics by any Working
Group, specification, or document instance.
See further below in this document for more information about how to refer to this
schema document from your own
XSD schema documents and about the
namespace-versioning policy governing this schema document.
Father (in any context at all)
denotes Jon Bosak, the chair of
the original XML Working Group. This name is reserved by
the following decision of the W3C XML Plenary and
XML Coordination groups:
In appreciation for his vision, leadership and
dedication the W3C XML Plenary on this 10th day of
February, 2000, reserves for Jon Bosak in perpetuity
the XML name "xml:Father".
About this schema document
This schema defines attributes and an attribute group suitable
for use by schemas wishing to allow xml:base,
xml:lang, xml:space or
xml:id attributes on elements they define.
To enable this, such a schema must import this schema for
the XML namespace, e.g. as follows:
<schema . . .>
. . .
<import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>
or
<import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd"/>
Subsequently, qualified reference to any of the attributes or the
group defined below will have the desired effect, e.g.
<type . . .>
. . .
<attributeGroup ref="xml:specialAttrs"/>
will define a type which will schema-validate an instance element
with any of those attributes.
Versioning policy for this schema document
In keeping with the XML Schema WG's standard versioning
policy, this schema document will persist at
http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd.
At the date of issue it can also be found at
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd.
The schema document at that URI may however change in the future,
in order to remain compatible with the latest version of XML
Schema itself, or with the XML namespace itself. In other words,
if the XML Schema or XML namespaces change, the version of this
document at
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd
will change accordingly; the version at
http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd
will not change.
Previous dated (and unchanging) versions of this schema
document are at:
http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd
http://www.w3.org/2007/08/xml.xsd
http://www.w3.org/2004/10/xml.xsd
http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd
