Interesting.  I'm wondering where the version on ivoa.net came from.

Anyway, this will work (except the version attribute should be 1.0
rather than 1.0rc3).  I was a bit confused yesterday by the
stipulation in the spec that the root element has to be of the type
vds:TableSet (PDF page 8) and therefore said we couldn't have an
additional schema.  But of course we have, since
{http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOSITables/v1.0}tableset of course is of the
type {http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VODataService/v1.1}TableSet, so we're
fine with the spec, too.

I'd suggest an additional paragraph like

  This root element will in general be the tableset element from the
  IVOA schema for the namespace
  http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOSITables/v1.0.

or something like this.

Be that as it may, we need to fix the schema on ivoa.net.  Who's
going to do this?

Cheers,
