Nevil is correct in that there isn't a technical validation issue since the 
version attribute is defined as xsd:string. So it could read version="foo" in 
an instance document and still validate. It would most certainly confuse 
applications reading the file.
 
Since this issue may cause problems at the application level and since it is 
not part of the data model definition, I have modified the schema to read 
version="1.1".
 
I posted the updated LandXML-1.1.xsd with an appropriate comment regarding the 
change this morning.
 
cheers,
 
Nathan

        Hello Mark,
        
        I have noted a small discrepancy with the LandXML 1.1 Schema file
        published by Nathan Crews of the LandXML Group in the USA.
        
        In the header of the LandXML 1.1 schema file at
        http://www.landxml.org/schema/LandXML-1.1/LandXML-1.1.xsd,
        we can see the following :
        
        <xs:schema xmlns="http://www.landxml.org/schema/LandXML-1.1";
        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
        targetNamespace="http://www.landxml.org/schema/LandXML-1.1";
        version="1.0" >
        
        The version number should be listed as "1.1", not "1.0", so it is
        consisent with the LandXML file name and intended usage.
        
        Hence the header should read as follows :
        
        <xs:schema xmlns="http://www.landxml.org/schema/LandXML-1.1";
        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
        targetNamespace="http://www.landxml.org/schema/LandXML-1.1";
        version="1.1" >
        
        
        I don't know the process for us raising issues with the Nathan and the
        LandXML group. Perhaps ask Nevil how we raise an issue ? I can contact
        Nathan directly, if that is deemed appropriate.
        
        This is only a small issue, but it would be good to fix even such a
        small error, before NSW Lands uses this schema in earnest.
        
        
        Thanks.
