[Bug 5047] Content of "dataType" in the IF schema

------- Comment #3 from sandygao@ca.ibm.com  2007-09-24 13:56 -------
Some more information/observation on the consequences of the 2 options.
Consider:

<data>
  <!-- some comment -->
  <my:root>...</my:root>
  <!-- some other comment -->
  <some:element> ... </some:element>
</data>

Here it's clear that <my:root> is the root element of the document being
packaged and <some:element> is an extension element. How about the 2 comments?
Nothing can be used to indicate whether they should be considered as part of
the transmitted document.

Without extension points, the transmitted document can be defined as
represented by "all characters after <data> and before </data>".

With extension points, we could still define it as "all characters after <data>
and before the first extension element, if any, otherwise before </data>".
