It appears to me from looking at the spec that whenever you derive a complexType from another complexType as a restriction, you have to re-declare any attributes or children from the supertype in the subtype if you want them to be available in the subtype. Is this true? If so, it seems like when validating an instance of the subtype, I need look no farther than the subtype itself (i.e., I don't need to traverse the type hierarchy to see what's valid). Also, what's the difference in this scenario between not re-declaring a child or attribute and declaring a child with maxOccurs=0 or an attribute with use="prohibited", respectively? Finally, where in the spec, if anywhere, are these questions answered? John P. A.
