           Summary: RQ-146: needs clarification re. wildcards
           Product: XML Schema
           Version: 1.1 only
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Consider the following "tricky" indirect case involving a wildcard referencing 
a global element:

<element name="a" type="string"/>
<complexType name="example-2">
  <sequence>
    <element name="a" type="int"/>
    <element name="whatever"/>
    <any namespace="##targetNamespace" processContents="lax"/>
  </sequence>
</complexType>

Clearly the local <a> and the indirect reference to the global <a> 
are "inconsistent" with each other within the content model of the above 
example but I'm not sure if the "directly, indirectly, or implicitly" language 
in the EDC rule captures this case.
