This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
End of 3.7.2 contains: Given the constraints on its appearance in content models, an <all> must only occur as the only item in the [children] of a named model group definition or a content model: see Constraints on Model Group Schema Components (ยง3.8.6). This seems like a simple English summary of the constraint expressed in 3.8.6 "All Group Limited". Unclear why this text is not in 3.8.6, suggest moving it.
In an effort to make better use of Bugzilla, we are going to use the 'severity' field to classify issues by perceived difficulty. This bug is getting severity=minor to reflect the existing whiteboard note 'easy'.
A wording proposal for this issue (among others) was sent to the XML Schema WG on 4 February 2008. http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.consent.200802.html (member-only link) For some issues, the proposal is effectively to make no change; see the Status section of the proposal for the specifics.
During its telcon today, the XML Schema WG accepted the 'Structures Omnibus 2' proposal, which includes changes intended to resolve this issue. (Or, for some issues, contains the editors' proposal that the issue should be closed without further changes.) http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.consent.200801.html (member-only link) Accordingly, I'm marking the issue resolved. The originator of this issue (or in some cases the individual, acting on behalf of a group, who filed the comment) should receive an email notification of this change. Please examine the changes and let us know if you agree with this resolution of your issue, by adding a comment to the issue record and changing the Status of the issue to Closed. Or, if you do not agree with this resolution, please add a comment explaining why. If you wish to appeal the WG's decision to the Director, then also change the Status of the record to Reopened. If you wish to record your dissent, but do not wish to appeal the decision to the Director, then change the Status of the record to Closed. If we do not hear from you in the next two weeks, we will assume you agree with the WG decision.
I see no listing of 5160 in the status section, and no obvious changes in 3.7.2, so I'm not sure what was changed, thus leaving this open for clarification.
Created attachment 523 [details] diff file showing the change made for bug 5160 The attachment shows the change labeled as being intended to resolve this issue. (I do not know why the change was not showing up in the version mentioned in comment #4.)
