RE: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/

In "Table 1. Occurrence Constraints for Elements and Attributes" the
following text occurs in the 4th row:

 

element must appear twice or more, its value must be 37; in general, 
minOccurs
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#attribute-minOccurs#attribute-minOccu
rs>  and maxOccurs
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#attribute-maxOccurs#attribute-maxOccu
rs>  values may be positive integers, and maxOccurs
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#attribute-maxOccurs#attribute-maxOccu
rs>  value may also be "unbounded"

 

This seems misleading since minOccurs can be 0, which is not a positive
integer.  The use of the word "may" makes this strictly correct, but the
"and maxOccurs value may also 'be unbounded'" implies it is intending to
give the range of legal values for these attributes.  I would change the
text to:

 

element must appear twice or more, its value must be 37; in general, 
minOccurs
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#attribute-minOccurs#attribute-minOccu
rs>  values may be non-negative integers and maxOccurs
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#attribute-maxOccurs#attribute-maxOccu
rs>  values may be positive integers or "unbounded"
