Re: [xsl] Why do the XSLT and XML Schema specifications use different notations for Definitions?

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We (on the XSLT side) once encountered a case where there was ambiguity 
as where a definition ended, so we changed the notation to make sure 
that didn't happen (though it causes some problems because we can't 
handle a multi-paragraph definition). WGs typically do such things 
without asking other WGs for permission/consensus.
