Scheme dependence at small x

We discuss the evolution of F_2^p at small x, emphasizing the uncertainties related to expansion, fitting, renormalization and factorization scheme dependence. We find that perturbative extrapolation from the measured region down to smaller x and lower Q^2 may become strongly scheme dependent.
