Re: XML Syntax Summary in Part 1

Ram,

Looks like a bug in the XML syntax summary. Should be *.

The multiple <documentation> elements are for any desired purpose (human 
or machine), and could be used for difference languages.

XML Syntax Summary in Part 1






Gurus,
 
Section 9 of Part 1 shows the XML syntax summary for a WSDL document.
 
I am attaching a snippet of the XML.
 
<description targetNamespace="xs:anyURI" >
  <documentation />?

  <import namespace="xs:anyURI" location="xs:anyURI"? >
    <documentation />* 
  </import>*

  <include location="xs:anyURI" >
    <documentation />*
  </include>*

   . . . . . 
<binding name="xs:NCName" interface="xs:QName"? type="xs:anyURI" >
    <documentation />*
      . . . . . 
 
You can note that "description" can possess only zero or one 
"documentation" element [as indicated by "?"], whereas other components 
can have zero or more documentation elements within them. [as indicated by 
"*"] 
Is this correct ?
 
Secondly, am I right if I state that multiple documentation tags have been 
provisioned only to provide for documentation in different languages using 
the "xml:lang" property? Are there any other use-cases for this ? 
 
rgds,
Ram
