ISSUE-69: Global Attributes http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/databinding/issues/69 Raised by: Paul Downey On product: Basic Our current editors' draft includes patterns for global attributes: http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/edcopy/basic/basic.html#pattern-GlobalAttribute Which may have crept in from generic patterns for predefined types of attributes. Whilst local attributes appear to be reasonably well supported by databinding tools, it seems that global attributes aren't, in particular those from another namesapce. e.g. a schema which imports a global definition of xml:id is unlikely to result in each generated class containing an explicit 'id' property meaning it's not possible to access the xml:id values from generated code. In addition, we currently have no examples for global attributes as they need a carrier global element, so we need to embark on generating a large number of such examples to test our current global attribute patterns. Proposal: make global attributes an advanced Pattern and constrain Basic attributes to being local to other collection patterns specified such as by ISSUE-47.
