Description Sandy Gao 2005-09-14 14:29:27 UTC 
This is a fragment from the Schema for Schemas

<xs:complexType name="topLevelAttribute">
  <xs:complexContent>
   <xs:restriction base="xs:attribute">
    <xs:sequence>
     <xs:element ref="xs:annotation" minOccurs="0"/>
     <xs:element name="simpleType" minOccurs="0" type="xs:localSimpleType"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:attribute name="ref" use="prohibited"/>
    <xs:attribute name="form" use="prohibited"/>
    <xs:attribute name="use" use="prohibited"/>
    <xs:attribute name="name" use="required" type="xs:NCName"/>
   </xs:restriction>
  </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
attribute 'use' is ruled out,


<xs:attribute name="use" use="prohibited"/>
However, the prose in section 3.2.3 (constraints on XML Representation) doesn't 
say anything about the 'use' attribute.

I believe that the schema for schemas is correct and hope, the prose will rule 
this out explicitly.
