Excerpted from "Status of this Document" section: "This is a W3C Note published on 15 February 1999 as a deliverable of the XML Schema Working Group, which is part of the W3C XML Activity. It lists a base set of agreed requirements for an XML schema language."

"This document represents a compromise that leaves many design questions open, creating opportunity for decision-making in the design phase. As the XML Schema work continues, the concrete implications of these requirements for the design will be worked out and documented."
