------- Comment #2 from cmsmcq@w3.org  2006-09-20 23:30 -------
At the face to face meeting of January 2006 in St. Petersburg,
the Working Group discussed this issue.  While there was some
regret over the decision, in the end the Working Group decided
not to take further action on this issue in XML Schema 1.1.

The rationale for the decision (as I understand it) was roughly
as follows.  This item is similar in some respects to others (bug
2088, bug 2200, bug 2251, bug 2075, bug 2314); all involve
datatypes whose values are in some sense correct only if
appropriate declarations (or other constructs) are in scope.  It
would be good to have a clearer account of such datatypes, but
while the lack of a clear account is highly visible in the spec,
it does not seem to cause serious problems for many people in
practice.  Since we don't seem to have any immediate prospect of
achieving greater clarity, and the problem does not seem acute
for users, it seems unwise to delay Datatypes 1.1 for further
work in this area.

This issue should have been marked as RESOLVED / LATER at that
time, but apparently was not.  I am marking it that way now, to
reduce confusion.
