333008 - External Instance documents can include their own schema file

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, defect)

Description

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

An .xml file can include its own schema file using attributes, like xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation (in the root node).

This would require us to store a schema per instance document somewhere, since if we have 2 instance documents that use xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation (which means null namespace), we couldn't store them in a nsISchemaCollection since only one entry per namespace is allowed.

So we probably would need a nsISchema on one of the instance document interfaces and init it if we need to, and the validation code would have to take that into consideration.
