here's a write-up of the parameter sweep extension.
If possible, I'd like to have a discussion about it on the upcoming call.
A few comments. It's possible to structure the Assignment stuff so that the xsi:type arguments may be omitted. The key is that you have to declare elements and a substitution group as well. Given that, there's no ambiguity in the resulting documents and tooling like Axis does the right thing, generating an inheritance hierarchy. Your example (Appendix 2) omits required SweepGroup elements. This leads me to ask which is actually definitive about your proposal; the example or the schema/spec. It would be nice to be able to attach some kind of way of restricting the space being swept; I might want to sweep an even grid of points excepting omitting a few where I know there are singularities (e.g. the origin, a fairly common case!) Will it be possible to sweep over non-string content (e.g. element content)? Like this, it would be easy to sweep over, say, EPRs... Donal.
