Here is an example from the XML Schema spec that I based my solution
upon:
<element name="picture">
<type source="binary" derivedBy="extension">
<attribute name="pictype" type="NOTATION"/>
</type>
</element>
This example shows the source attribute referencing the built-in
datatype "binary". I inferred that the source attribute could also
reference a built-in datatype (e.g., the money datatype). Do I infer
incorrectly? /Roger
