Hi,
Is their an LC policy against relying on externally located documents?
W3C seems to have a fairly decent history of keeping their URLs
persistent, and they do have a statement in regards to this document.
From <http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd>:
In keeping with the XML Schema WG’s standard versioning policy, this
schema document will persist at http://www.w3.org/2005/08/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/2005/08/xml.xsd will not
change.
