[tei-council] Interesting Oxygen behaviour

[Martin Holmes]

I have some an ex-TCP document that was failing to validate under the 
previous release of TEI because it had a <closer> in a <postscript>. 
With the new release out, I tried validating this document against the 
new tei_all:

http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/custom/schema/relaxng/tei_all.rng

It failed, complaining about the <closer>. I did Reset Cache and 
Validate, many times. I went to the documentation and to the schema 
itself to confirm that <closer> is now allowed in <postscript>. I did 
Validate With and put in the URL of the tei_all, and also had it in the 
document as an <?xml-model?> PI. No joy.

It wasn't till I actually downloaded the oxygen-tei packages and 
overwrote my TEI framework folder in Oxygen that I got the correct 
result. It appears that if you try to validate a file against a TEI 
schema on the TEI website, Oxygen is determined to use its own local 
copy, without checking whether they're the same or not. That wasted a 
bunch of my time.

Cheers,
Martin
