Hi,
In the schema-informed mode the encoder and the decoder use a schema,
the EXI 1.0 version specifies XML schema informed grammars. The reference
to that schema is carried in the EXI header. The format of that "schemaId" 
is not specified for 1.0 processors, it can be whatever is practical for 
the application. It is *optional* in the EXI header, even when a schema is
in use: applications can also "share" this information out of band. 
EXI 1.0 is intentionally liberal on a number of details and defers them to 
the application level, so that it can support a large range of use cases.
