Xerces-2 Schema beta

Features:

Target DCUT (code complete) date: Nov. 30

Target release date: late December

Open Issues:

How do we pass PSVI info thru XNI? (see Andy Clark's proposal)
Do we need to change our content model representation to include model group components?
How do we expose the PSVI info to the application?

Clean-up work. Needs volunteers.

Use reference comparison for schema element names in traversers. Needs some investigative work.
Error messages: get rid of all calls to reportGenericSchemaError and ensure there are appropriate messages in the properties file.
General performance work: revisit use of Hashtable, Vector, string concat, QName lookup, etc.
Complete work in the decl pool, and change the traversers to use it.
Revisit our validation options and their semantics.
Potentially revisit ENTITY validation - See Schema Rec Issue R-66.

Features to be implemented if time permits

Improved simple content model support
Support for content models containing large minOccurs/maxOccurs values
Improved error detection for XML Schema errors: try to emit errors using line numbers from the Schema itself, and not the instance.
