I would expect it to say: A subset of {list, restriction, union}. Section 3.14.2 gives the syntax of the final attribute as: final = (#all | (list | union | restriction)) I would expect it to be: final = (#all | List of (list | union | restriction)) See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2003OctDec/0064.html Note: the second part of this comment is covered by R-199. 11985 1 cmsmcq 2006-09-23 23:42:47 +0000 Thank you for this comment (and apologies for the slow response). I'm a little confused by the discrepancies I have just found between the property values in the component and the attribute values in the XML, between the Structures and Datatypes specs, and between what our diffed versions of the spec say was the case in 1.0 and what the copies of the 1.0 specs on the TR page say. Clearly some serious textual archeology is going to be necessary to straighten this out. The structures spec does assign a meaning to the value 'extension' on the {final} property: it blocks the extension of the simple type into a complex type with simple content. So it seems to have a plausible place in the component display; I don't know now why it's not included in the XML display. The second point you raise (missing 'List of' in the description of the 'final' attribute) is also bug 2192, which was resolved in erratum E2-56 and in 1.0 Second Edition. I don't propose to close this issue, though, until we get a better understanding of the discrepancies I've just found, how they came about, and how they ought to be resolved. 14282 2 cmsmcq 2007-03-01 01:44:55 +0000 The discrepancies mentioned have been eliminated, and the Structures 14283 3 cmsmcq 2007-03-01 01:48:41 +0000 The discrepancies mentioned have been eliminated, and the Structures and Datatypes specs are consistent on these topics. The property description for {final} reads {final} A subset of {extension, restriction, list, union}. and the XML syntax overview defines the 'final' attribute as final = (#all | List of (list | union | restriction | extension)) Accordingly, I'm marking this issue FIXED. Michael, as the originator of the issue, I hope that you will indicate your agreement with the disposition of the issue by changing the status to CLOSED -- or, if need be, indicate your dissatisfaction by changing it to REOPENED. Thanks.
