Description Sandy Gao 2008-06-06 13:17:34 UTC 
Appendix C lists all constraints defined in both Structures and Datatypes. There seem to be a few constraints listed there but not defined in either part.

For example, there are entries like

 cvc-lexicalMapping-representation-valid
    Lexical Representation Valid against lexicalMappings facet 

and

 lexicalMapping-valid-restriction
    lexicalMappings valid restriction
Comment 1 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2009-04-10 04:00:21 UTC 
I think this phenomenon is limited to drafts prepared in the source
directories.  The parts of appendix C select all the constraint notes in
the version of the datatypes spec corresponding to the structures
spec being generated (status quo, diff against 1.0, diff against previous
WD).  In the source directories, this causes all the constraint notes
in the source file datatypes.xml to be selected, which includes
constraints long since deleted from the spec.  In the publication
directories, however, the source file containing all versions and
the status quo source file containing only 'live' text are distinguished
(as datatypes.source.xml and datatypes.xml respectively).  

It is for this reason (I believe) that the status quo document for
structures does not contain the ghost constraints mentioned in
comment 0.

If I am right (others should certainly check this!) we should close
this bug report as WORKSFORME.
Comment 2 David Ezell 2009-04-17 16:49:21 UTC 
5730: Appendix C includes undefined constraints made in Bugzilla.

Summary: glitch in editorial system; fixed.

MSM's recommendation: Quick.  Close as WORKSFORME (but someone
needs to say they have confirmed that it's fixed.)
Comment 3 Sandy Gao 2009-04-20 21:25:58 UTC 
During its 2009-04-17 telecon, the schema WG confirmed the observation made in comment #1 and decided to resolved this issue without any change. As the reporter of this issue, I'm marking it RESOLVED and CLOSED accordingly.
