There are specific cases where the translation program that we were using at the time (Sun's MSV - I thought development stopped in 2007 but I now see some updates: https://msv.dev.java.net/) could not handle conversion properly. Specifically it is possible in RELAX to construct an 'or' type relationship between an attribute and a child element, ex:
<parent type="something" />
vs
<parent> <type>something</type> </parent>
Side comment... This is a perfect example of the kind of thing *I think* we should be trying to clean up and remove from the 'standardized' version of the protocol. (It is fine to be very general in a schema and during prototyping when you are not sure what you need - once we encode it into a standardized protocol message, we should reduce the number of ways the information can be rendered so clients can be more simple.) jeff
