CR-34 response: Clarify restriction and extension of wildcard attributes

Dear Asir,

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

You raised the point registered as issue CR-34: Clarify restriction and
extension of wildcard attributes.

We resolved to replace the current mapping for wildcards in derivation by
extension to be a union of the sets matched by
the wildcard expressions.

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,

Priscilla Walmsley
XML Schema Working Group
