This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Currently, the acyclic constraint is allowed only on complexTypes and target* constraints are allowed only on element declarations. This is inconsistent. We should consider being more consistent in locating these constraints or, at a minimum, we must have a reasonable story for why this inconsistency is necessary.
Resolution at Jan 21 and 22 face to face meeting is 'won't fix'.
