Assuming schema document A includes schema documents B and C, where B has the same target namespace as A, and C has no target namespace. Which components may be referenced from any given component in A, B or C? In particular, given the following table (where R(A,B)=Y means components in A may refer to components in B), what should the table entries be for any marked "?". R A B C A Y Y Y B ? Y ? C ? ? Y From the spec, it appears that components in B may refer to components from A (see bullet 4 of QName resolution (Schema Document)). Is this correct? What about the other cases? See Issue 3 from the following mail: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JulSep/0121.html
The WG agreed that all three documents contribute components to and resolve their references in the single target namespace, so all cells in the table should be 'Y'.
