Probably all parties in the VOEventNet will validate against a local  
version of the schemata (Or, for providers, they will likely validate  
against a fixed version that, generally, lags behind the current  
version and assume that all packets that they generate with the same  
code will be valid.). I assume that DOMs will be able to store look  
up translation tables for external entities. Even when an aggregator  
promises to house current-version-validated messages, requiring a  
conversion from an older version from an out-of-date provider, that  
aggregator might only seldom refresh the local schema to make sure  
it's whole local store of schemata are correct.

Congrats to all of who you worked so hard to get v1.0 out and about  
town.
