Section 5.2 of part 1 [1] describes 3 ways to start schema assessment. The first is to specify a complex type. Any reason why it was restricted to "complex"? Isn't it also useful if I validate the following by specifying xs:int? <e>123</e> [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#validation_outcome
The Working Group accepted a proposal to adopt this change (among others) at our face to face meeting in August; the discussion in sectino 5.2 (Assessing schema-validity) no longer restricts type-driven validation to complex types. Accordingly, I'm marking this RESOLVED / FIXED.
