15 February 1999 as a deliverable of the XML Schema Working
Group, which is part of the W3C XML Activity. It lists a base
set of agreed requirements for an XML schema language. This
document represents a compromise that leaves many design
questions open, creating opportunity for decision-making in the
design phase. As the XML Schema work continues, the concrete
implications of these requirements for the design will be worked
out and documented. This document is a living document; it will
be reviewed regularly by the Working Group, and may be revised
to reflect changes in the Working Group's understanding. The
Working Group does not anticipate substantial changes, but may
decide to refine existing requirements or add new ones. A list
