schema-for-xslt20.xsd

This is a schema for XSLT 2.0 stylesheets. It defines all the elements that appear in the XSLT namespace; it also provides hooks that allow the inclusion of user-defined literal result elements, extension instructions, and top-level data elements. The schema is derived (with kind permission) from a schema for XSLT 1.0 stylesheets produced by Asir S Vedamuthu of WebMethods Inc. This schema is available for use under the conditions of the W3C Software License published at http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software-19980720 The schema is organized as follows: PART A: definitions of complex types and model groups used as the basis for element definitions PART B: definitions of individual XSLT elements PART C: definitions for literal result elements PART D: definitions of simple types used in attribute definitions This schema does not attempt to define all the constraints that apply to a valid XSLT 2.0 stylesheet module. It is the intention that all valid stylesheet modules should conform to this schema; however, the schema is non-normative and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Recommendation takes precedence. This schema does not implement the special rules that apply when a stylesheet has sections that use forwards-compatible-mode. In this mode, setting version="3.0" allows elements from the XSLT namespace to be used that are not defined in XSLT 2.0. Simplified stylesheets (those with a literal result element as the outermost element) will validate against this schema only if validation starts in lax mode.
