It appears that the definition of the {facets} property of the simple type 
definition schema component includes both the fundamental and constraining 
facets, according to the definition. OTOH, since the description talks about a 
possibly empty set of facets and there is also a {fundamental facets} property 
which is the set of fundamental facets, I suspect it was intended that the 
{facets} property only include constraining facets.

It's always been our interpretation that the {facets} property of simple type 
definitions was only intended to contain "constraining facets". (Though not 
normative, 3.14.1 in part 1 does mention "A set of constraining facets" 
explicitly.) So the change implied by wd-11 sounds good to us.
