LC-123: Inconsistency in content model for group

The W3C XML Schema Working Group has spent the last several months
working through the comments received from the public on the last-call
draft of the XML Schema specification.  We thank you for the comments
you made on our specification during our last-call comment period, and
want to make sure you know that all comments received during the
last-call comment period have been recorded in our last-call issues
list (http://www.w3.org/2000/05/12-xmlschema-lcissues).

Among other issues, you raised the point registered as issue LC-123,
pointing out an inconsistency in the content model for group.

This inconsistency has been resolved in favour of the more explicit
syntax which requires one of <all>, <choice> or <sequence>
(or <group ref='...') at the top level of all content models.

It would be helpful to us to know whether you are satisfied with the
decision taken by the WG on this issue, or wish your dissent from the
WG's decision to be recorded for consideration by the Director of
the W3C.
