Sorry, my previous mail was a bit verbose. My main problem has to do with the above example applied to an element. If I have: <xsd:element name="weather" fixed="wet"/> and an information item <weather></weather> Is the "weather" content considered to be absent, thus be allowed, and given a value of "wet"? OR Is the "weather" content considered empty, thus not be allowed? If the "weather" content _is_ considered to be absent, how could I specify the content to be empty? cheers, mick.Received on Wednesday, 24 January 2001 19:21:15 UTC
