Confusing schema fragment in Encryption 1.1 from MURATA Makoto on 2012-01-12 (public-xmlsec@w3.org from January 2012)

The schema fragment in 5.5.2 RSA-OAEP in Encryption 1.1 is
confusing. This fragment contains two element declarations,
namely


   <element name="OAEPparams" minOccurs="0" type="base64Binary"/>


and


   <element name="MGF" type="xenc11:MGFType"/>


.


The reader is likely to assume that they belong to the same schema
and thus the same namespaces.  However, OAEPparams belongs to
the namespace for XML Encryption 1.0, while MGF belongs to that
for 1.1.


It should be made clear that these two declarations occur in different
schemas.
