LC-52 Clarify minOccur/maxOccur defaulting?

Dear Mr Arnold,

The W3C XML Schema Working Group has spent the last several months
working through the comments received from the public on the last-call
draft of the XML Schema specification.  We thank you for the comments
you made on our specification during our last-call comment period, and
want to make sure you know that all comments received during the
last-call comment period have been recorded in our last-call issues
list (http://www.w3.org/2000/05/12-xmlschema-lcissues).

Among other issues, you raised the point registered as issue LC-52, Clarify
minOccurs/maxOccurs defaulting.

After much discussion the Working Group decided to specify a default value
of 1 for both minOccurs and maxOccurs. I hope this clarifies the situation
sufficiently.

It would be helpful to us to know whether you are satisfied with the
decision taken by the WG on this issue, or wish your dissent from the
WG's decision to be recorded for consideration by the Director of
the W3C.

Regards

Martin Gudgin
XML Schema Working Group
