Mike -- This would work well in the
simple case where a schema does not include/import another schema. What
if the included/imported schema has a conflicting or different annotation
- we are then back to precedence rules..

[dfdl-wg] DFDL and binary
XML again
Folks,
If you just take any XSD, and add a "top level" DFDL annotation
including:
repType="binary"
byteOrder="bigEndian"
....
And as well you must provide other top-level defaults for date formats,
how
nulls are represented by default and so forth. Doing this and then writing
out the data should get you a quite standard binary format for XML
transmission which ought to satisfy much of the needs of the binaryXML
community.
I found discussion of DFDL on public-xml-binary@w3c this week, and this
notion crossed my mind that while binaryXML formats can't solve the DFDL
problem, DFDL *CAN* solve the binaryXML problem.
