Re: [Bug 5047] Content of "dataType" in the IF schema

The spec needs to be clear about what it means when <data> contains no 
sub-element. I can open another bug to track it and we can close this one 
as you suggested.

[Bug 5047] Content of "dataType" in the IF schema






I believe we are very close to a resolution on this bug. Does anyone 
disagree with this proposal?
 
Sandy, you had some concerns. Are you ok with this definition?

I agree about the need to match elements without a namespace. I am ok with 
the
definition being:
 
  <xs:complexType name="dataType" mixed="false">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:any processContents="skip" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
 
We must have the ability to have empty dataType content. It is used to
represent tombstoned documents in one of our scenarios.
