By default, this would mean that a constructed element "foo" would not match element(foo). I'm not at all sure that's a good idea. >> 2. Remove Schema context from the spec > > > Agreed. I think this flies in the face of usage in documents governed by XML Schema. Most elements are locally declared. When we did a serious count, it was about 80% in the schemas we examined - we did this count specifically to determine if this feature was needed. For an invoice, do you really want to make it impossible to specify a customer element or a product element as a function parameter? That's the kind of problem you would get if you did this. >> 3.

I think tying it to schema import makes sense. Jonathan
