Re: "Internet Standard (STD)" - phrase known by Web programmers ?

[Laura Lemay <lemay -at- lauralemay -dot- com>]

Your original message referred to XSD.  XSD is a W3C standard.
http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema

I would say something like "if your XSD conforms to the XML Schema
Specification you should not experience
Parsing failures as a result of an update."

(Actually I hate the whole paragraph you quoted, but that is the language
I would use for that one part.)
