Daniel - could you refresh my memory as to the compatibility problem with the schema?

At the time I revised the Schema to fix the compatibility problem reported. I now have an EAD 2002 XSD DRAFT schema. I am looking for a few volunteers to test the draft Schema, in particular to evaluate whether it solves the reported problem, and as important, that I have not introduced unintended changes. To thoroughly test the compatibility problem, I need a volunteer or two to test the Schema in the context of a METS instance. I request that anyone with the knowledge, skills, and interest in testing the draft revision contact me and I will provided the address where the file can be located. Thank you, Daniel Daniel V.
