This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This issue was originally reported by Asir Vedamuthu, Mary Holstege. In 2 cases, some of the annotations are lost. * The enumeration and pattern facets have a single {annotation} property, but they collapse multiple enumeration and pattern elements, each of which may have its own annotation. * The schema-as-a-whole component defines the {annotations} property by reference to the [children] of single schema element II. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2002OctDec/0000. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2002Oct/0222.html On July 25 telcon agreed to add comments that resulted in R-163 to this issue. See material from R-163 copied below: The Schema for Schemas and the Rec should be consistent wrt where annotations are allowed. The Schema for Schemas permits an annotation on any element/attribute element, but the Rec is missing annotation information for some schema component definitions.
