Description Valentina Popescu 2007-11-28 17:38:04 UTC 
As part of the resolution for defect http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4775, the processContents 
for the smlif:dataType has been changed from lax to skip.

Since this change had some not so obvious reasons, I propose 
to have the spec explain this approach.

Proposal :

Add this comment to the sml-if.xsd schema, under the dataType type

  <xs:complexType name="dataType" mixed="false">
    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation>
The wildcard with processContents "skip" matches the root element of the   model document being packaged. The value of processContents is set to "skip" so that the contained element is not attempted for schema validation. As a result, validity of the packaged document will not affect validity of the IF document itself.
      </xs:documentation>
    </xs:annotation>    
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:any processContents="skip" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
Comment 1 Virginia Smith 2007-12-03 21:46:29 UTC 
Fix per proposal.
Comment 2 Virginia Smith 2007-12-03 22:20:11 UTC 
The new schema reads as follows: 
--------
  <xs:complexType name="dataType" mixed="false">
    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation>
The wildcard with processContents "skip" matches the root element of the  
model document being packaged. The value of processContents is set to "skip" so
that the contained element is not processed for schema validation. As a result,
validity of the packaged document will not affect validity of the IF document
itself.
      </xs:documentation>
    </xs:annotation>    
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:any processContents="skip" minOccurs="0" namespace="##any" maxOccurs="1"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:anyAttribute namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>
  </xs:complexType>

--------

Note the phrase "the contained element is not **processed** for schema validation". This is a change from the proposal.
