[osis-core] Since we may be releasing osisCore.1.1.2.xsd should we consider making the schema extensable.

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

Were you trying to extend the core elements? You could extend the 
present one to add new elements.

Not really changing the "behavior" of the schema but extending its 
content models?

Hmmm, let's think about that, agree it would not change the validity of 
current documents.

Actually would like to do an RELAX-NG version at some point. Was not in 
good enough shape when we started on OSIS but suspect it is now. 
(Caution, part of that may be due to my ISO affliation. You have been 
warned. ;-)

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
