All, There seems to be a problem with the mailsystem. Has anyone else noticed it? Nathalie and william are having their mail bounced. Here is Williams last message. steve.. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [jsdl-wg] Latest XSD schema - as of 23rd November 2004 (last one for today!) Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 16:45:21 +0000 From: William Lee <wwhl@doc.ic.ac.uk> To: Steve McGough <asm100@doc.ic.ac.uk> My mail is not appearing on the list. Maybe it has bounced. Do you have access to the JSDL mailinglist system? ------------------------------ I agreed that Qname type can be used, however, it's been a controversial type to use throughout the history of XSD, because interpretation of a QName value needs contextual information (the enclosing elements and their xmlns declaration). <jsdl:JobDefinition ...> ... <jsdl:CPUArchitecture>myns:sparc</jsdl:CPUArchitecture> ... </jsdl:JobDefinition> For the parser, it needs to resolve the "myns" namespace prefix from the enclosing elements in order to deduce whether it's in the jsdl namespace or others. I'm easy both ways (token / qname), although I don't think going Qname makes the definition any richer. I just want to point out the argument from an implementers' point of view.
