Modularization of XHTML in XML Schema

This document describes a methodology for the modularization of XHTML using XML Schema. Modularization of XHTML allows document authors to modify and extend XHTML in a conformant way.

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document series is maintained at the W3C.

This is the first public "Working Draft" of "Modularization of XHTML in XML Schema" for review by members of the W3C and other interested parties in the general public. It is a stand-alone document to ease its review. Once the methodology described in this document become mature, it will be integrated into a future document forthcoming from the HTML Working Group.

This document is still in its early stage, and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. Publication of this Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C, and it is inappropriate to use W3C Working Drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than "work in progress".
