[5483] WSDL schema defines fault 'element' incorrectly

Philippe,

John Kaputin reported this bug.[1] I reviewed it and agree. The spec was 
updated to include some tokens in the definition of the content for 
faults, but the schema wasn't. 

We haven't discussed the process for maintainance. In this case, the 
schema was improperly updated when the spec changed so I propose to simply 
correct the schema. Failure to do so means that the schema reports that 
some valid WSDL documents are invalid, e.g. those with a token like #none, 
#any, #other for the content of a Fault.

The schema is currently:

  <xs:complexType name="InterfaceFaultType" mixed="false">
    <xs:complexContent>
      <xs:extension base="wsdl:ExtensibleDocumentedType">
        <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="1" 
maxOccurs="1"/>
        </xs:choice>
        <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:NCName" use="required"/>
        <xs:attribute name="element" type="xs:QName" use="optional"/>
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
  </xs:complexType>

But it should be:

  <xs:complexType name="InterfaceFaultType" mixed="false">
    <xs:complexContent>
      <xs:extension base="wsdl:ExtensibleDocumentedType">
        <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="1" 
maxOccurs="1"/>
        </xs:choice>
        <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:NCName" use="required"/>
        <xs:attribute name="element" type="wsdl:ElementReferenceType" 
use="optional"/>
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
  </xs:complexType>
