 Completely re-written schema  Relax NG  W3C  No DTD yet  Draft Tag Library  Element definitions  Attribute definitions

 8 distinct uses for in EAD 2002:   or [in   sibling  Within siblings [as a block element]  Recursively within  Within block elements like [as mixed content] 

 Eliminate generic  Create context-appropriate note elements   Improve documentation for

 Minor tweaks to  Remove,, and from within  Limit to a block element, add for inline use.

 Consolidate,,, and to just and  Remove linking attributes from assorted elements, e.g.,  Deprecate extended links   Remove XLINK namespace, but implement linking attributes isomorphic with XLINK

 Add language code and script code attributes to all non-empty elements  Corresondence  対応  Make sure appropriate elements can repeat to support multi-language description

 Reduce mixed content by more carefully considering what elements are appropriate within a given element  Balance that impulse against desire for reasonably simple schema design

 3 Mixed Content models  Core :,,,,,  Expanded Core : Core + access point elements,,,, and  Expanded Core +
