Description C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2012-12-14 16:30:35 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #13422 +++

The current draft of the precisionDecimal note does not say what namespace the datatype is in (at least not that anyone in the meeting could see).

This should be required as part of the documentation for implementation-defined datatypes, so perhaps this will automatically be taken care of as part of the resolution of bug 13421.  But if that turns out not to be the case, then that's a gap in the requirements for implementation-defined datatypes.  (The rules for implementation-defined types say a simple type definition is required; that seems to entail specifying a namespace, but it might be helpful to be more explicit.)  (There is also some question about how to make a conforming simple type definition for a primitive, given that the base type has to be xs:anySimpleType or xs:anyAtomicType, which aren't usually legal.  Further investigation needed.)

[14 Dec 2012:  clone this bug to record the proposed change to Datatypes in Appendix H, item 3.c]
Comment 1 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2012-12-21 16:17:56 UTC
On 21 December 2012, the WG approved a proposal to change item 3c in Appendix H of datatypes from 

  The values of the ·fundamental facets·.

to 

  The values of the ·fundamental facets· and the values of all properties
  of its simple type definition component.
