    <thetext>An attribute declaration may be local to an attribute group definition, in 
which case its scope is specified as *absent*.

But when the group is referenced in a complex type definition, the spec doesn&apos;t 
specify that it&apos;s scope is set to that of the complex type. 

There may be a similar problem for elements/element groups as well.

    <thetext>Resolved at May f2f (2002 [1]) as an error. Editor is instructed to draft 
erratum that repairs the limitations imposed by the spec, and to do so for 
elements and elementGroups as well.

A similar issue was discussed at May 2003 F2F ([2]).

    <thetext>(From comments on bug 1973)

Mary Holstege and Henry S Thompson are convinced the WG agreed to set this to 
the enclosing group definition, fixing a long-standing bug in Structures, but 
we can&apos;t find any as-it-were Phase-1 agreement on this.

Appears to have been classified with error-with-erratum, but HST is not 
convinced that this change makes sense for 1.0, needs discussion.

    <thetext>It appears that if we did have agreement on the classification and
technical solution to this issue, then that agreement has come unstuck.
Accordingly, I&apos;m labeling this unclassified, so the WG can deal with
it in the normal course of handling 1.0 errata reports.</thetext>

    <thetext>Discussed at 2005-09-28 F2F meeting.

Keep the classification of &quot;error with corrigendum&quot; and instruct the editor to 
implement the {scope}=enclosing attr group defn fix, and come back to us if 
that reveals a contradiction.  Also, per minutes of May 2002 (see ref), check 
and if necessary do for element decl.scope and elt group defns</thetext>
