re: WSD WG requests to XML Schema WG

Dave,

If you want a solution that works right today - then I'd suggest
you use the OASIS CAM toolset.

It can do exactly what you want here in your example
below - as is.

There is an open source jCAM processor available from
 http://jcam.org.uk

The OASIS CAM TC spec' is about to go to Committee Draft
and we anticipate full OASIS status within two months - so 
CAM is very stable and proven at this point - we've been
working this for two years (feels almost W3Cish!).

Also - longer term - using CAM prevents you having to make
unnatural tinkering to schema design tools - since what
you are really talking about here is context driven content
models.  CAM is designed to provide that - layered on top 
of schema - so its a natural extension to your toolset.

You can even configure UML production rules to output
straight to CAM if you wish from a structure diagram.

The OASIS CAM TC also has introductory brochures, PPTs, 
and sample templates available - along with tools, etc.

Enjoy, DW.

We want these 3 of these documents to be valid against the 3 schemas. <
