Dear XML Schema editor, Observation: Clauses 3.2.7 states: It is an error for recurringDuration to be used directly in a schema. Only datatypes that are derived from recurringDuration by specifying a value for duration and period can be used in a schema. Clauses 3.2.8 states: It is an error for binary to be used directly in a schema. Only datatypes that are derived from binary by minimally specifying a value for encoding can be used in a schema. Clauses 3.3.10 states: It is an error for NOTATION to be used directly in a schema. Only datatypes that are derived from NOTATION by specifying a value for enumeration can be used in a schema. Furthermore, the value of all enumeration facets must match the name of a notation declared in the current schema. Clauses 3.3.26.3 states: It is an error for timePeriod to be used directly in a schema. Only datatypes that are derived from timePeriod by specifying a value for duration can be used in a schema. Comment: In light of the above statements, would it be useful for the abstract attribute to be included in simpleTypes as well as complexTypes? Sincerely, Mike McCaleb
