Description John Arwe 2008-04-10 16:30:33 UTC
LC Draft section 6.3.2 Schema Validity Rules, bullet 2 says "if B has Schematron constraints defined on it then they are automatically copied to D and unioned with the Schematron constraints defined on D."  
these usages of "Schematron constraints defined on" 
are in contrast to the bullets surrounding it, indeed w/ the rest of the subsection, that carefully uses the well-defined {rules} notation.

The existing text would appear to introduce the possibility that Schematron constraints might be attached to schema components other than via the SML-defined {rules} schema component property, which I do not think was our intent.

This bullet seems to be fully redundant with 6.3.1 bullet 3.a, so it might be a simple matter of removing 6.3.2 bullet 2 entirely.

Resolution 6/19: Fix as follows. No needsReview necessary

6.3.2 bullet 2

Proposal (replace Schematron constraints w {rules} 2x): "If a complex type D is derived by restriction or extension from {base type definition} B and if B has {rules} defined on it then they are automatically copied to D and unioned with the {rules} defined on D."
Comment 2 Kumar Pandit 2008-06-19 20:13:29 UTC
fixed per resolution.
