Examples (sec. E), the attribute "currency" at the type "price" in the xml schema Defining a default currency in the schema is bad design practice. Without the schema, the data is basically useless. Please choose something different for an example of default attribute handling. Based on Martin's review, comment [35]
consensus of the i18n-core-wg, telecon 27 may 2005: approved by i18n-core-wg.
Oh for goodness sake. The schema includes the comment <!-- This example is for data model illustration only. It does not demonstrate good schema design. --> and it's clearly a toy. Whilst I agree with the spirit of the comment, getting the example right is tricky and requires meticulous attention to detail. I'm not inclined to change it for this reason.
Rejected at 7 June 2005.
