This version is non-normative - it should be identical to the normative version that is contained in Appendix A of the relevant specification except for this comment.

Following the schema maintenance policy of XBRL International, it is the intent (but is not guaranteed) that the location of non-normative versions of these schemas on the web will be as follows:

1)	While any schema is the most current RECOMMENDED version and until it is superseded by any additional errata corrections a non-normative version will reside on the web in the directory http://www.xbrl.org/2008/ - during the drafting process for this specification this directory should contain a copy of the most recent published version of the schema at http://www.xbrl.org/2008/general-filter.xsd.

2)	A non-normative version of each schema as corrected by any update to the RECOMMENDATION will be archived in perpetuity on the web in a directory that will contain a unique identification indicating the date of the update.
