           Summary: topLevelAttribute and use=(optional|prohibited|required)
           Product: XML Schema
           Version: 1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

This is a fragment from the Schema for Schemas

<xs:complexType name="topLevelAttribute">
  <xs:complexContent>
   <xs:restriction base="xs:attribute">
    <xs:sequence>
     <xs:element ref="xs:annotation" minOccurs="0"/>
     <xs:element name="simpleType" minOccurs="0" type="xs:localSimpleType"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:attribute name="ref" use="prohibited"/>
    <xs:attribute name="form" use="prohibited"/>
    <xs:attribute name="use" use="prohibited"/>
    <xs:attribute name="name" use="required" type="xs:NCName"/>
   </xs:restriction>
  </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
attribute 'use' is ruled out,


<xs:attribute name="use" use="prohibited"/>
However, the prose in section 3.2.3 (constraints on XML Representation) doesn't 
say anything about the 'use' attribute.

I believe that the schema for schemas is correct and hope, the prose will rule 
this out explicitly.

This was originally an issue opened against XML Schema 1.0. It was discussed at 
the July 2003 f2f [1] to defer to 1.1.
