The spec needs to be clear about what it means when <data> contains no sub-element. I can open another bug to track it and we can close this one as you suggested.

I believe we are very close to a resolution on this bug. Does anyone disagree with this proposal?

Sandy, you had some concerns. Are you ok with this definition?


------- Comment #10<http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5047> From Kumar Pandit<mailto:kumarp@microsoft.com> 2007-11-01 04:32:01 [reply<http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5047>] -------
I agree about the need to match elements without a namespace. I am ok with the
definition being:

  <xs:complexType name="dataType" mixed="false">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:any processContents="skip" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

We must have the ability to have empty dataType content. It is used to
represent tombstoned documents in one of our scenarios.
