XML Schemas as AS Object Model

Hello,
I am not shure about how a given XML Schema woul be represented as a
Abstract Schemas Object Model, see the following example:


XML Schema example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

 <xsd:element name="ElementA"  type="TypeA"/>

  <xsd:complexType name="TypeA">
   <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="ElementB1"  type="TypeB" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
    <xsd:element name="ElementB2"  type="TypeB" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
   </xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:attribute name="AttributeA1" type="xsd:string"/>
   <xsd:attribute name="AttributeA2" type="xsd:string"/>
  </xsd:complexType>

  <xsd:complexType name="TypeB">
   <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="Text"  type="xsd:string"/>
   </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>

</xsd:schema>


Abstract Schemas Object Model:

ASElementDecl example = {
	       strictMixedContent = false;
	       elemntType         = STRING_DATATYPE;
	       isPCDataOnly       = false;
	       contentType        = ELEMENTS_CONTENTTYPE;
	       ASContentModel     = exE
	       ASAttributeDecls   = null;
}

ASContentModel exE = {
	       listOperator = AS_SEQUENCE;
	       minOccurs = 1;
	       maxOccurs = 1;
	       subModeld = {(ASElementDecl ElementA)};
}

ASElementDecl ElementA = {
	       strictMixedContent    = false;
               elementType           = STRING_DATATYPE;
               isPCDataOnly          = false;
               contentType           = ELEMENTS_CONTENTTYPE;
               ASContentModel        = TypeA;
               ASAttributeDecls      = null;
}

ASContentModel TypeA = {
               listOperator          = AS_SEQUENCE;
               minOccurs             = 1;
               maxOccurs             = 1;
               subModels             = {(ASElementDecl ElementB1),
                                        (ASElementDecl ElementB2)};
}

ASElementDecl ElementB1 = {
	       strictMixedContent    = false;
               elementType           = STRING_DATATYPE;
               isPCDataOnly          = false;
               contentType           = ELEMENTS_CONTENTTYPE;
               ASContentModel        = TypeB;
               ASAttributeDecls      = null;
}

ASContentModel TypeB = {
               listOperator          = AS_SEQUENCE;
               minOccurs             = 1;
               maxOccurs             = 1;
               subModels             = {(ASElementDecl Text)};
}

 - Q1: But how is Elemnt B2 represented, because ASContentModel TypeB has the
       false minOccurs, maxOccurs values?

ASElementDecl ElementB2 = {
	       strictMixedContent    = false;
               elementType           = STRING_DATATYPE;
               isPCDataOnly          = false;
               contentType           = ELEMENTS_CONTENTTYPE;
               ASContentModel        = TypeB;
               ASAttributeDecls      = null;
}

 - Q2: Where to store the ASAttributeDecl AttributeA1 and AttributeA2 defined
       in the complexType TypeA, but in AS only ASElementDecl has the attribute
       ASAttributeDecls?

Thank you for your help in advance,
