Description Sandy Gao 2005-09-07 19:56:28 UTC 
In the Structures spec, section 3.3.4 Element Locally Valid (Type), bullet 2 
states:

"2 Its {abstract} must be false."

However, the type is not necessarily complex, and "abstract" is not a property 
of simple types.

Comment 1 Sandy Gao 2005-09-07 19:56:58 UTC 
Discussed at the Apr. 26 telecon:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2002Apr/0084.html.

Resolution
The WG resolved to classify R-28 as an error and instruct the editor to draft 
an erratum, saying that the type in question may not have {abstract} = true, 
rather than saying it must have {abstract} = false)

Proposed text, available at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2002Aug/0005.html 

approved at Sept. 13 concall.

Erratum E1-13 added
