Poorly researched on no sleep. From Part 1, Section 3.10: {selector} specifies an XPath expression [XPath] relative to instances of the element being declared. This must identify a node set of subelements (i.e. elements contained within the declared element) to which the constraint applies. --- Was this intentionally omitting the constrained element from the potential node set? My previous message assumed that self or descendant-or-self would be legal though the target node set might contain the constrained element. For example, you might want to constrain the following document <Profiles favorite="javaProfile"> <Profile id="javaProfile">Java</Profile> <Profile id="cppProfile">C++</Profile> </Profiles> with a constraint like: <xsd:key name="profileID"> <xsd:selector xpath="Profile"/> <xsd:field xpath="@id"/> </xsd:key> <xsd:keyref name="favoriteProfile" refers="profileID"> <xsd:selector xpath="."/> <xsd:field xpath="@favorite"/> </xsd:keyref> However, the keyref would not be legal with the current construct since the constrained node is not a subelement of itself.Received on Friday, 9 February 2001 18:41:05 GMT
