Re: XSD versioning ...

Hi,

Let your customer choose the version he wants. If he did not yet 
upgraded to version 2 then he should receive version 1 documents that do 
not contain the new element. When he is ready to process version 2 
documents then he should be able to choose version 2 and receive further 
version 2 documents.

Hope that helps,
George
