This was originally R-156 (http://www.w3.org/2001/05/xmlschema-rec-comments.html#pfiMixedSimple). Consider: <complexType name="something" mixed="true"> <simpleContent> <restriction base="string"> </restriction> </simpleContent> </complexType> This is a unique combination, a complex type with simple content and mixed content type. I believe that this combination is valid per XML Schema 1.0 REC. Personally, I believe that this combination is invalid and hope this will be ruled out explicitly. See the following for more info: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2002AprJun/0127.html Response from Henry: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2002AprJun/0141.html The WG discussed this issue at the Sept. 13 telecon, and agreed to add a "warning" about this now (2nd edition), with the intent that constraints will be added to 1.1. 11976 1 cmsmcq 2006-09-23 03:34:53 +0000 The Working Group discussed this issue on 22 September 2006 and concluded that yes, we should make the combination described invalid. The editors are to prepare a wording proposal in line with the suggestions made in the email thread referred to in the description. 12467 2 cmsmcq 2006-10-14 14:32:58 +0000 A proposal to resolve this issue has been placed at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.cleanup-1.200610.html (member-only link) for review and action by the WG. 12565 3 cmsmcq 2006-10-21 20:16:22 +0000 The proposal mentioned in comment #2 has been approved by the WG and integrated into the status-quo text of the spec. It should be included in due course in the next public working draft.
