The answers:

One:
I'm sorry, the answer is b)

Two:
I was assuming that a schema did not have to be an XML schema. I will
make on if needed.

Three:
I have to sort this out. We will start using schemas only when records
are being created. When they exist we don't care anymore about a xml
schema and use XSL to process the record. I can try to create a schema
for the sake of meeting the requirement of having a schema.
I do not think we have to accomodate elements outside dc as a part of
extraRequestData. SRU/W will not deal with what is in recordData as long
as it is a string  or XML.

Three questions:

One:
Assuming this definition and assuming that dcx represents it, is it
the
intention that (a) dc would be the value of the recordSchema request
parameter, and an extraDataRequest of value dcx would be included, (b)
dcx
would be the value of recordSchema (c) no value of recordSchema would
be
supplied and dcx would be included as extraRequestData?   Or what?
(And I
sure hope the answer isn't (b)!)

Two:
recordSchema has to be an xml schema, doesn't it?  It can't be some
description like above (thus ruling out (b)).   I hope this is true but
I
don't know if we've ever discussed it.

Three:
Is it not possible to write an xml schema that does this (dcx)?   Or
at
least most of it? Then we don't have to bother with the
extraDataRequest.
My meeting notes indicate that we were going to come up with a
DC-extended
XML schema.  Anyone want to take that on? Then, is the remaining
problem to
accomodate the additional elements outside of DC?  So write an
extraRequestData definition (not specific to DC) that says you can add
additional elements.
