Description Sandy Gao 2006-01-18 03:18:48 UTC 
Section 5.2 of part 1 [1] describes 3 ways to start schema assessment. The 
first is to specify a complex type. Any reason why it was restricted 
to "complex"? Isn't it also useful if I validate the following by specifying 
xs:int?

Comment 1 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2006-09-18 13:31:17 UTC 
The Working Group accepted a proposal to adopt this change (among others)
at our face to face meeting in August; the discussion in sectino 5.2
(Assessing schema-validity) no longer restricts type-driven validation to
complex types.

Accordingly, I'm marking this RESOLVED / FIXED.
