1890 2005-08-26 13:38:08 +0000 R-112: A question about QName Resolution (Schema Document) 2009-04-21 19:21:31 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XML Schema Structures: XSD Part 1 1.0/1.1 both All All CLOSED FIXED resolved P2 normal --- 4363 1 sandygao w3c-xml-schema-wg www-xml-schema-comments oldest_to_newest 5500 0 sandygao 2005-08-26 13:38:08 +0000 Constraint "QName resolution (Schema Document)", bullet 4 states: "4 its namespace name is either the target namespace of the schema document containing the QName or that schema document contains an <import> element information item the actual value of whose namespace [attribute] is identical to that namespace name." Does this mean that <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="myNS"> <element name="e" type="string"/> </schema> is invalid? (Because the schema namespace is neither the target namespace, nor imported by this document.) The spec does mention: "Simple type definitions for all the built-in primitive datatypes, namely string, boolean, float, double, number, dateTime, duration, time, date, gMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gYear, gYearMonth, hexBinary, base64Binary, anyURI (see the Primitive Datatypes section of [XML Schemas: Datatypes]), as well as for the simple and complex ur-type definitions (as previously described), are present by definition in every schema. All are in the XML Schema {target namespace} (namespace name http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema ), have an atomic {variety} with an empty {facets} and the simple ur-type definition as their base type definition and themselves as {primitive type definition}. Similarly, simple type definitions for all the built-in derived datatypes (see the Derived Datatypes section of [XML Schemas: Datatypes]) are present by definition in every schema, with properties as specified in [XML Schemas: Datatypes] and as represented in XML in Schema for Schemas (normative)." But I don't think "are present" directly leads to "can be accessed". Shouldn't bullet 4 of "QName resolution (Schema Document)" be changed to something like: "4 one of the following must be true: 4.1 all of the following must be true: 4.1.1 its namespace name is identical to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema . 4.1.2 the kind specified is simple or complex type definition. 4.1.3 its local name is identical to the name of one of the built-in types. 4.2 either the target namespace of the schema document containing the QName or that schema document contains an <import> element information item the actual value of whose namespace [attribute] is identical to that namespace name."

Agreed to classify as an error w/erratum. Some discussion occurred re: what new text should be added, but no consensus reached on what was required to fix the problem.

It also affects bug 4363. 15208 3 cmsmcq 2007-05-25 22:48:38 +0000 The WG reached phase-1 agreement on issue 4363 (which blocks this issue) on 11 May 2007. The minutes of the call don't show that we said anything about whether the technical direction set for bug 4363 would resolve this bug or not, so I'm leaving the status keyword unchanged. But in practice, I expect that any wording proposal for 4363 will also resolve this bug. (I.e. editor to chair: don't schedule time to discuss this until we have a wording proposal.) 15274 4 sandygao 2007-06-04 14:47:10 +0000 Minor correction to comment #3. On 11 May 2007, we accepted a wording proposal on this issue. Marking it accordingly. This issue blocks bug 4363, which still has an open question to answer. 15464 5 cmsmcq 2007-06-18 14:15:52 +0000 The proposal adopted by the Working Group has now been integrated into the status quo documents on the server; accordingly, I'm changing the status to 'RESOLVED'.
