Hello!
> may invlidate our METS documents should there be a new release of the schema.
Is not this a really useful feature? It gives an opportunity to apply the
XSLT to update the METS documents without needless procrastination in case
this update has not been done in time. I assume that
https://github.com/SAA-SDT/EAD-Revision/blob/master/ead2002toEADx.xsl will
continue to be well-tested and updated to make this conversion really
easy. Using crontab could even help switch some symlink(s) to (the
director(y|ies) to) the converted files exactly at the time when the new
schema is to be considered official. How could a schema update be made
easier and more failsafe?

I read 2014 here.

According to the links above, the upcoming release will take place in
2013. Some update and / or clarification may be needed.
Does anyone knows whether XSDL version 1.1 will be used for ead.xsd?
Regards!
