About the Examples (XML Schema)

0.3. About the Examples

All the examples in this book have been tested with the XSV and Xerces-J implementations of W3C XML Schema running Linux (the Debian "sid" distribution). I have chosen these tools for their high level of conformance to the Recommendation (the best ones according to the tests I have performed); the vast majority runs without error on these implementations--however, the Recommendation is sometimes fuzzy and difficult to understand, and there are some examples that give different results with different implementations. These conform to my own understanding of the Recommendation as discussed on the xmlschema-dev mailing list (the archives are available at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlschema-dev).
