XML Schemas in Internet Explorer

As with many other developers, Microsoft got caught basing its software on a relatively early XML specification, which promptly changed. As implemented in Internet Explorer, Microsoft's schemas are based on the XML-Data Note http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/NOTE-XML-data-0105/ and the Document Content Description (DCD) note http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-dcd, and are now very outdated.

In this chapter, I'll take a look at schemas as used today in the only implementation that I know of: Internet Explorer. After getting an overview of schemas as used in Internet Explorer, I'll go on to take a look in depth at the most recent XML schema specification and explore how to use it.
