Description Khaled Noaman 2008-10-08 18:31:36 UTC 
According to the spec, when the ref [attribute] on an IDC is present, the corresponding schema component is the identity-constraint definition resolved to by the actual value of the ref [attribute]. What happens to the annotation child on that IDC element? Should bullet #4 in Schema Representation Constraint: Identity-constraint Definition Representation OK be changed to:
4.  If ref is present, then only id is allowed to appear together with ref.
Comment 1 David Ezell 2008-10-17 15:59:09 UTC 
The WG agreed that the annotation should be rolled up to the element declaration.
Comment 2 Sandy Gao 2008-10-24 17:17:49 UTC 
On 2008-10-24, the working group adopted a proposal to address this issue by
storing these annotations on the containing element declarations.

The proposal (along with changes for other bugs) can be found at (member-only):
