I cannot find any indication that this has been acted on by the WG, which needs to do so. 16178 1 David_E3 2007-08-17 16:04:35 +0000 2007-08-17 telcon <ht> MSM: We should say we accept the goal, and think the proposed mechanism is ingenious, but isn't complete (unions, complex types) and doesn't offer enough benefits over SCDs to be proposed right now The WG thinks that this is an ingenious solution, but declines to make the change to this version of datatypes. 16851 2 davep 2007-09-27 15:46:58 +0000 A message to the original contributor was sent 27 Sep. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2007JulSep/0197.html
