[Bug 5924] New: Are violations of "Schema Component Rules" conformance or validity issues?

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5924

           Summary: Are violations of "Schema Component Rules" conformance
                    or validity issues?
           Product: SML
           Version: LC
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: cmsmcq@w3.org
        ReportedBy: sandygao@ca.ibm.com
         QAContact: public-sml@w3.org


For example, section 5.2.1.1 forbids

  <sml:key ref="name1" name="name2"/>

("ref" and "name" can't both be present.)

Should this make the containing SML model nonconformant or invalid?

Given that "bad" schema documents makes the model nonconformant, the same
should be true for SML constraints, but the conformance rules in section 8
doesn't seem to cover this case. The closest is in the "validity" list:

"3. Each document in the model MUST satisfy all normative statements in this
specification that pertain to model documents."

We need to add part of this to the conformance requirement list.
