Re: [Psidev-ms-dev] Strange validation issue

[Matthew C. <mat...@va...>]

Hi David,

I'm sure we want to accommodate reasonable limitations on the schema due 
to validation software bugs, but a change to a released schema might be 
going too far. We should have gotten this into 1.1 (it was mentioned in 
the next WG conference call notes), but it unfortunately got lost in the 
ether. :(

Is it a reasonable solution for people stuck with an affected version of 
Xerces to simply catch and ignore the buggy error? Otherwise we'd be 
looking at either changing the schema with no version bump (thus 
violating our own guidelines) or bumping to mzML 1.1.1 and mzML_idx 1.1.2.
