OTOH http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#xsi.nil says

 

Attribute Declaration for the 'nil' attribute

Property

Value

{name} <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#a-name#a-name> 

nil

{target namespace} <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#a-target_namespace#a-target_namespace> 

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance

{type definition} <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#type_definition#type_definition> 

The built-in boolean <http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-2-20010502/datatypes#boolean>  simple type definition

{scope} <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#a-scope#a-scope> 

global

{value constraint} <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#a-value_constraint#a-value_constraint> 

*absent* <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#key-null#key-null> 

{annotation} <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#a-annotation#a-annotation> 

*absent* <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#key-null#key-null> 

 

So what should be considered normative?

 

Best regards

Michael

Subject: Built-in Attributes

 

The xsi schema at http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance defines the built-in attributes:

 

  <xs:attribute name="nil" /> 

  <xs:attribute name="type" /> 

  <xs:attribute name="schemaLocation" /> 

  <xs:attribute name="noNamespaceSchemaLocation" />

 

This implies that their types are xs:anySimpleType. However the F.S. gives more specific types. Shouldn't we align with the xsi schema?

 

Best regards
