Re: ISSUE-49: is anySimpleType a Basic Patterns type?

Hi Paul,

Perhaps a better way of saying what I meant is:

If xs:anySimpleType is considered a problem, what about xs:anyType (because 
the latter seems harder than the former)?  xs:anyType is encountered in the 
construct <xs:element name="x"/>.

I didn't see an issue for this, but I might have missed it.

Pete.

"can" being the operative word here - "can" and "should" is the
bar for Advanced Patterns, whereas "is in practice" is the
bar we're using for the Basic Patterns.

You might, for example, like to try generating code from a Schema
using xs:anySimpleType with the Microsoft .NET 1.1 wsdl.exe
and xsd.exe tools ...
