Hi recently I found the proposed extension to the "Element Declarations Consistent" constraint as described in http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2002/07/xmlschema-1.1-current-reqs-list.html #ElementDeclarationsConsistent When wondering about the motivation for these constraints, I ended up with the following intention: The type of a child element E which may occur as a child of a parent element PE shall not depend on ist position in the content [model]. If this is correct, then how about the following scenario: <element name="PE" type="CT"> <complexType name="CT"/> <complexType name="CT1"/> <extension base="CT"> <sequence> <element name="E" type="E-type-1"/> </sequence> <attribute name="A" type="A-type-1"/> </extension> <complexType> <complexType name="CT2"/> <extension base="CT"> <sequence> <element name="E" type="E-type-2"/> </sequence> <attribute name="A" type="A-type-2"/> </extension> <complexType> Then, when looking at the following two documents <PE xsi:type="CT1" A="..."><E>...</E></PE> <PE xsi:type="CT2" A="..."><E>...</E></PE> Now E is once validated vs. "E-type-1", once vs "E-type-2", similarly for A. I wonder whether there should be a similar constraint to "Element Declarations Consistent" demanding that "E-type-1" is the same named type as "E-type-2", the same for "A-type-1" and "A-type-2".
