WORK IN PROGRESS - long-term plan

Strategic Tasks

Reduce dependencies on old Sun XML libraries.
- This may mean moving away from JAXB completely, including the code-generation plugins
- It may also mean moving away from XSD completely
Prism API
GUI API

Schema Improvements

Remove <extension>
- May cause UPA problem in XSD, but we may get rid of XSD anyway
Primitive type for definition/schema
- Use in: resource schema, role schema, archetype schema
Get rid of the JAXB-induced dichotomies
- PolyString vs PolyStringType
Dynamic schema, e.g. archetype schema
Support for "map", e.g. {en => foo, sk => fú, ... }
Support for "list" or ordered values.
100% namespace-free operation
QName and URI are the same thing.
Namespaces and versioning
- It is not a good idea to have version in the namespace. We need more sophistication in versioning and compatibility.
PolyString as container.
Every structured data as container.
New schema language?
- We are hitting the limits of XSD for a long time already. Maybe it is time for next step?
