Although the choice of a factorization scheme is as important as the choice of a factorization scale, the dependence of theoretical predictions (at finite order) on the choice of a factorization scheme has been little investigated. This is due to the fact that the freedom in the choice of a factorization scheme is enormous, even at NLO. One of the reason why to study factorization schemes is the possible exploitation of the freedom in their choice in the construction of NLO Monte Carlo event generators with NLO initial state parton showers. However, the ZERO factorization scheme, which should be optimal for such Monte Carlo event generators, has turned out to be practically inapplicable although it appears at first sight as reasonable. A detailed analysis has then shown that if some given NLO splitting functions do not satisfy a certain nontrivial condition, then the corresponding factorization scheme has some restrictions on its practical applicability. Relevant technical details of the discussed issues are the content of this short contribution.
