unique constraint interpretation.

Hi,

The below is the comment from Xerces parser BUG 18405 report:
================================================
"3 For each node in the
·target node set·
all of the
{fields},
with that node as the context node, evaluate to either an empty node-set or a
node-set with exactly one member, which must have a simple type."

The target node set is the set of nodes on which the selector is matched.  Note
that this condition must hold for *any* identity constraint; only in bullet 4
of the tableau are the differences between key and unique described. 
Therefore, it seems clear that, if a selector matches, then either all of the
fields must match or none of them must match; even for xsd:unique, you can't
have some fields matching.
=========================================================

Especially I'm interested in the conclusion:

"Therefore, it seems clear that, if a selector matches, then either all of the
fields must match or none of them must match; even for xsd:unique, you can't
have some fields matching."

Is this a correct interpretation of unique constraint?

Regards,
Eugene
