RE: Trouble with data schema

I would like to propose a simplification which there is still time to put in
the spec.
We include categories in the Base Data Schema for backward compatibility -
but we disallow them in custom schemas from now on.
If you want to put in broad categories, there's nothing stopping you - you
just have to make them into data elements which subsume the narrower
categories. There's no need for a completely different and confusing syntax.
Yes it's because of XSD. Basically because each data element takes a subset
of categories from a global set, this is only possible with a custom data
type (or at least that's the only way we could find to do it and we
consulted some XML lists)...

Questions:

1/ Should I correct the examples?

2/ is the issue of specializing xsd a prob of xsd?

Best,
