At the meeting in St. Petersburg on 30 January, Sandy Gao
proposed that "We should fix the use of 'atomic ...' in Part 1 
to be consistent with part 2, i.e. say 'with {variety} atomic'".

The specific reference was to clause 1.1 of Schema Component 
Constraint: Derivation Valid (Restriction, Simple) in section
3.14.2 of Structures, which currently reads in part:

    With one exception, the {base type definition} is an atomic 
    simple type definition ...

SG's proposal was to say something like

    With one exception, the {base type definition} has
    {variety} atomic ...

The analogous sentence in Datatypes (in section 4.1.1) reads:

    If {variety} is ·atomic· then the {variety} of {base type 
    definition} must be ·atomic·, unless the {base type definition} 
    is anySimpleType. 

The WG agreed to open an issue on this topic as part of its
decision to accept the wording proposal for bug 1852 aligning
parts 1 and 2.
