	* v1.1.0: OWS Common specification has been updated to version 1.1.0
	  (OGC 06-121r3). These very small changes are taken from corrigendum
	  (OGC 07-016) which corrects the schemaLocation references in
	  <import> declarations for the namespace
	  http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink, in the OWS Common 1.1 XML Schema.
	  These schemaLocation references are changed to relatively reference
	  the old schema location at
	  http://www.opengis.net/xlink/1.0.0/xlinks.xsd .  

	* Note: check each OGC numbered document for detailed changes.

	  OGC 05-081r2 "Change to use relative paths"

	* v1.0.0: The 1.0.0 version are the XML Schema Documents for OGC
