[oXygen-user] Validation of no-namespace Schema-based Document

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Eliot,

The problem with the system mappings versus uri mappings is a problem in 
SAX not in Xerces. At the XNI level (Xerces Native Interface) it is 
possible to identify that a schema location needs to be resolved and to 
get its namespace and try to pass that through a uri mapping.
We plan to update oXygen to use Xerces at XNI level and thus to add 
support for mapping namespaces through the catalog uri entries to schema 
locations.

Best Regards,
George
