RE: ambiguity in XML Schema

Hello,

Here is how I thought on handling this:

- We should make the normative text point only to XML Schema -- that is, we
don't repeat any of the definitions.

- We introduce a bunch of examples to clarify things we believe might cause
confusion. In fact, last week I've already added a bunch of examples to that
effect. All of these examples could (and should) be converted to test cases.

In this way, we are not contradicting XML Schema; however, we are making sure
that the intricate details of XML Schema and its interplay with OWL are clear.

Regards,

	Boris
