ISSUE-22: Bare Vectors

http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/databinding/issues/22

Raised by: Paul Downey
On product: Basic

The input document provides a simple pattern for representing an ordered
single dimensional list:

"""
<xs:complexType name="ItemListType">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="item" type="xs:string" minOccurs=0 maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
"""

This pattern matches the WSDL Array offered by the WSDL 1.1 specification (later
removed in the Basic Profile). 

However scheam also offers inline, or 'bare' arrays:

"""
 <xs:complexType name="CustomerType">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xs:element name="addressLine" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xs:element name="telephoneNumber" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  <xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
"""

What advice should we offer in the Basic patterns document regarding 'bare' arrays?
