Release Notes

Schema

We provide implementations of the CNXML specifications in the following schema formats. In some cases, however, the schema language is not descriptive enough to capture the full specification. In these cases we have chosen to allow the schema implentation to be more lax. In other words, any document conforming to the specification will validate according to the schema, but not necessarily vice versa.
