I support @baskaufs proposal. But it does not seem to address the original issue about the `xml.xsd` file? https://dwc.tdwg.org/text/tdwg_dwc_text.xsd still imports xml.xsd from a gbif URL: ``` Get access to...

Technically I would strongly avoid using redirects. The IRI should return an http 200, no 3xx as many default implementations including Java fail to deal with that. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29696638/how-to-validate-xml-with-schema-urls-that-return-http-301 or...

I very much like the term `vitality` and we should probably think about a short accompanying vocabulary that is more expressive than just the binary dead or alive. Would you...

If we have preparations and preservationMethods the issue would be mostly about a redefinition of the term preparations so it excludes how it was preserved and focuses more on what...

If you look at the GBIF values at the top I cannot see the need for a one-many extension. It is all about one thing. If there are multiple parts...

It makes sense to have an extension to capture complex preparation details. But I would still argue that DwC should provide at least 2 separate terms for what [organism part](https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/issues/3)...

It would be good to at least address the wrong examples for the current definition which all uses just the plain subgenus name without genus or authorship
