The XML Query WG would like to know whether a Complex Type without SML references is allowed to specify "sml:acyclic="true""? 19684 1 virginia.smith 2008-04-01 17:06:42 +0000 Section 5.1.1 states that "Model validators MUST support the sml:acyclic attribute on any <xs:complexType> element in a schema document." There is no restriction to only complexTypes that allow the sml:ref attribute (indicating an SML reference). See also Table 5.2. 19716 2 andrew.eisenberg 2008-04-02 18:24:40 +0000 Thanks you for this clarification. Your response satisfies our comment.
