Attached is updated proposal which incorporates Steve's comments.. The main issue to resolve is given that a variable can only be set once should a setVariable for the same variable on an element or element reference override the setVariable on a simpleType of element declaration or is it an error to have a setVariable for the same variable? Other points of interest Non-format annotations cannot be put in scope on a complex type.

Attached are the proposed rules for non-format annotation scoping. As part of the exercise I had to clarify which annotations are permitted on each schema object so please review that table. Of particular interest are 1. Annotations put in scope on a xs:complexType 2. Assert/Discriminator on xs:sequence, xs:choice and xs:any 3. Hidden on an empty sequence only 4. DefineVariable on schema and sequence only to define the scope of the variable.
