schema-for-xslt20.xsd (main)

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.

PART A: definitions of complex types and model groups used as the basis 
for element definitions
 

PART B: definitions of individual XSLT elements    
Elements are listed in alphabetical order.
 

PART C: definition of literal result elements
    
There are three ways to define the literal result elements
permissible in a stylesheet.
    
(a) do nothing. This allows any element to be used as a literal
    result element, provided it is not in the XSLT namespace
    
(b) declare all permitted literal result elements as members
    of the xsl:literal-result-element substitution group
    
(c) redefine the model group xsl:result-elements to accommodate
    all permitted literal result elements.
    
Literal result elements are allowed to take certain attributes
in the XSLT namespace. These are defined in the attribute group
literal-result-element-attributes, which can be included in the
definition of any literal result element.
 

PART D: definitions of simple types used in stylesheet attributes
