Re: More on xs:anySimpleType

Can I just confirm then that these errata, taken in conjunction with the
ones that Dare pointed me to previously, will permit the following situation
in the schema for which targetNamespace="myNamespace" for example:

<element name="item" type="anySimpleType" abstract="true">
<simpleType name="monetary">
    <restriction base="decimal"/>
</simpleType>
<element name="cash" type="myNamespace:monetary" substitutionGroup="item">

I figure this ought to be OK since we are deriving monetary from decimal and
not from anySimpleType directly.

Thanks

Hugh

As Dare says, since the REC is not perfectly unambiguous in this area
as written, implementors have taken different decisions wrt
anySimpleType.  Most parsers allow user-access to it by name.  By the
end of the week there should be definitive errata published clarifying
that this is in fact correct.
