Schema Authoring Styles

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Basic
Raised by:
Paul Downey
Opened on:

Description:
Our input document suggests using the 'venetian blind' style of schema
authoring, that is using named complexType types.

This originates from personal experience with early tools which had difficulty
with anonyous, nested elements and complexTypes.

Is this advice something we should carry into the Basic patterns, possibly
allowing other patterns in the Advanced specification, or are a mixture of
elements, types named and anonymous likely to give a good experience with
databinding tools?
