This schema is not normative, or even definitive. Theprose copy in the XLink 1.1 recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink11/) isdefinitive, although it should not differ from this file, except for theabsence of these two initial comments.
In keeping with the W3C's standard versioningpolicy, this schema document will persist athttp://www.w3.org/XML/2008/06/xlink.xsd.At the date of issue it can also be found athttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.xsd.The schema document at that URI may however change in the future,in order to remain compatible with the latest version of XML Schemaitself, or with the XLink namespace itself. In other words, if the XMLSchema or XLink namespaces change, the version of this document athttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.xsd will changeaccordingly; the version athttp://www.w3.org/2008/06/xlink.xsd will not change.
This schema document provides attribute declarations andattribute group, complex type and simple type definitions which can be used inthe construction of user schemas to define the structure of particular linkingconstructs, e.g.<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" location="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.xsd"> <xs:element name="mySimple"> <xs:complexType> ... <xs:attributeGroup ref="xl:simpleAttrs"/> ... </xs:complexType> </xs:element> ...</xs:schema>
Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never going to be a realistic possibility. See RFC 3066 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt and the IANA registry at http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tag-apps.htm for further information. The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with the empty string.
