[Springframework-developer] Import statement in spring-beans.xsd

[Matthias F. <mfu...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I just downloaded the spring 2.0 RC3 and I am wondering about one thing...

The xsd file under
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd contains
the statement <xsd:import
namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"/> at line 4.

Why do you need that statement? I am not a xsd expert, but the
namespace doesn't seem to be used anywhere and if I remove it, the xsd
file is still valid...

I stumbled upon this because Stylus Studio seems to have some problems
with spring-beans.xsd due to that statement.

Regards,
Matthias
