Hi Tony! > I was with you most of the way, but not all the way to the end. :-) I believe you got there, in the end :-) > Along those lines, I'd consider the element names to be metadata > when they appear in the XSD (for XML schema), > but not when they appear on the wire (on the wire they > are data for the XML processor, allowing it to separate the pieces of the XML data). A Schema is entirely meta-data, you could say XML Schema Datatypes are abstract meta-data and never appear on the wire, until you encounter xsi:type .. > Hmm - not my most articulate description, > but maybe I've explained how I see it? I think the word you were looking for was "authoritative" or maybe "obligation"? > I definitely (and precisely) agree that /precise/ agreement isn't easy here :-) bingo! Paul
