Re: Mixed content and empty content

XSD doesn't allow you to restrict the text part of mixed content in any way.
Relax-NG has a mechanism to do this and it would be nice if XSDL could do
something similar.  (The Relax-NG construct is something like <value> or
<data>.)

P.S. Thanks Michael.

Thanks.

Since this is a mixed content then the textual data is not restricted at
all -- can the textual content be further restricted by derivation even if
it is mixed? I mean -- can it be changed to an xsd:integer? I think not, but
I don't know.

Thanks.

Shlomo.

What is the semantics of the following XSDL snippet?


<xsd:element name="foo">
    <xsd:complexType mixed="true"/>
</xsd:element>

allows character data content but no element children. Pretty much the same
as anySimpleType, except that it's complex - which means you can derive a
"real" complex type from it by extension.


Does it mean the same as


<xsd:element name="foo">
    <xsd:complexType/>
</xsd:element>

No, that one doesn't allow character data content.


     Is the meaning <xsd:complexType mixed="false"/> the same as
<xsd:complexType/> ?

Yes.
