--- Comment #25 from C. M. Sperberg-McQueen <cmsmcq@w3.org>  2008-06-13 16:58:10 ---
The XML Schema WG discussed this issue at its telcon of 13 June 2008,
and noted that, as in the past, the WG has no consensus on how to
resolve this issue.  As a group, therefore, we agreed to close the
issue with the notation LATER, in the hopes of being able to return to the
topic at some future date (but as far as can be predicted this will not
be in time for XSD 1.1).  The W3C representative dissented, on the grounds
that the correct way to resolve the issue is to do as suggested and
eliminate the restriction on upward pointing references in conditional
type assignement tests, or failing that to find some other way to support
xml:lang and other constructs that use the same idiom.

Felix, as the originator of the issue and as the representative of the
i18n Core WG, we ask that you report this result back to the I18n Core
WG, consider this disposition of the issue, and let us know by closing 
the issue or by reopening it whether you are satisfied with the XML 
Schema WG's efforts to resolve it and with the ultimate disposition 
of the issue.  If we do not hear from you before the end of August, we
will assume that the I18n Core WG is willing to accept this disposition
and does not wish to reopen it or to appeal it to the Director.

Thank you.
