- The rules for "Schema Component Constraint: Attribute Wildcard Union" have 
the following problems:
  - Various references to "intersection" in this section should be "union". 
  - Bullet 4 gives the rule for "...the two are negations of different 
namespace names..." and indicates the result in not expressible, but in fact is.

- In addition, in a separate email, the commentator points out a problem with 
wildcard subset, "##other" and absent. For example, if wildcard "w2", say, 
equals "absent", and wildcard "w1" is "not some-uri", then, "absent" is allowed 
by "w2", not allowed by "w1", and yet the rules for subset indicate that "w2" 
is a subset of "w1".

As a result of these exchanges, the commentator proposes the following 
modifications to wildcard union, subset and intersection:
