Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I would like to thank Charles Goldfarb for his invaluable guidance and support. Alina Kirsanova and Dmitry Kirsanov did an excellent job preparing this book for publication. I would also like to thank Mark Taub at Prentice Hall for his hand in the making this work possible.

Of course, this book would not have been possible without the efforts of all of the members of the W3C XML Schema Working Group, with whom I have had the pleasure of working for six years. The content of this book was shaped by the questions and comments of the people who contribute to XML-DEV and xmlschema-dev.

Finally, I’d like to thank my Dad for teaching me to “get stuck into it,” a skill which allowed me to complete this substantial project.
