Changed the targetNamespace and namespace of schema to reflect version change
2001-11-04 Chris Moffatt:
1. Changes to enable the schema to work with commercial XML Tools
a. Refer to the xml namespace using the "x" abbreviation instead of "xml"
b. Remove unecessary non-deterministic constructs from schema.
i.e. change occurrences of "#any" to "#other"
2. Revert to original IMS MD version 1.2 namespace.
i.e. "http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsmd_v1p2"
This change done to support the decision to only change the XML namespace with
major revisions of the specification ie. where the information model or binding
changes (as opposed to addressing bugs or omissions). A stable namespace is
necessary to the increasing number of implementors.
3. Changed name of schema file to "imsmd_v1p2p2.xsd" and
version attribute to "IMS MD 1.2.3" to reflect minor version change
Any namespaced element from any namespace may be used for an "any" element. The namespace for the imported element must be defined in the instance, and the schema must be imported.
