Thank you for your work. You've done a great job at identifying and categorizing schema patterns. I'm having problems understanding the categories, though. Each pattern falls into a binary "basic" or "advance" category. The "advance" category includes both widely used patterns, patterns that no one supports (e.g., AnyURIEnumerationType01 [advanced]), and patterns everyone supports (e.g., DecimalElement01 [advanced]). Some patterns with identical support across vendors fall into different categories, e.g., AttributeOptional01 [basic] & AttributeFixed01 [advanced]. I would like to use your work to evaluate and refactor WSDLs & XSDs to maximize interoperability. Given the current output, though, I don't think I could use it for that purpose. What would be ideal for me is to be able to run a XSLT that would provide me feedback on which tools don't support a WSDL or XSD and a grade for each pattern found describing its interoperability. Have you considered anything like this? Are there any plans to refresh the results every year or two based on bug fixes to the various products? Thanks, Mark Maxey
