Terry Catapano has outlined the following schema enhancements as being of high priority:

• deglobalize all elements except <taxonx> and <treatment>. These should be the only valid root elements for a taxonX document
• add a metadata container (similar to taxonxHeader) to contain MODS data for a treatment when treatment is the root element
• add other namespaces to the <xmlData> element. The big question here is whether to open the element up to *any* namespace (easy), constrain to a fixed set (also easy), or constrain to particular namespaces for particular elements (e.g., tcs for <name>; SDD for <character>; MODS for <bibref>, etc...) My preference is for one of the first two options.
• add subelements to bibref content model. This may be accomplished by simply adding MODS or Dublin Core (in which all elements are global) to <bibref>
• incorporation of xlink attributes to relevant elements to enable linking and pointing.

The above changes have a proposed release date of  July 1 2007.
