Classification: UNCLASSIFIED My answer: The data type of Foo is string. This implies a few things: 1. Foo is a proper identifier where reuse is irrelevant. 2. All instances of Foo relate to its single definition. 3. Since there is only a single definition of the Foo element its relationship to its parts is inherent in the definition provided to schema. 4. Since Foo is a proper identifier and the type value is not always start with the identifier and relate its parts back to its name. In my mind nothing else matters.
