For clients accessing unknown servers there is currently no way to tell that a record schema as mentioned in explain is a DCAP based record schema. If there is a scheme X containing DC plus an element Y, applications will not be able to "realise" that 99% of the metadata of X can be used in their stylesheets. Having a second scheme that indicates that this record schema is a DCAP based record schema seems to me the right way to solve this. The reason to call it DCX is because it is supposed to be qualified DC plus eXtensions. The alternative is that applications have to know all the different names of all variants of schemas being used for DC plus or minus some elements. Ray, can you reserve info:srw/schema/3/dcx for this? Theo
