This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

This is the Last Call Working Draft of "Modularization of XHTML™ in XML Schema" for review by members of the W3C and other interested parties in the general public. It is a stand-alone document to ease its review. It is being re-submitted for last call because of substantial changes in the way the Schemas are implemented to ease their use in non-XHTML contexts. After going through Last Call again, this document will be integrated into a new edition of Modularization of XHTML [XHTMLMOD]. The Last Call review period ends 14 November 2003.

Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.
