------- Comment #9 from cmsmcq@w3.org  2007-10-26 22:08 -------
The XML Schema WG discussed this issue ("sets of lists") during our call of
26 October 2007.  We accepted the wording proposal of comment #6 and
instructed the editors mark the issue decided.  The amendment proposed in 
comment #8 was considered but not accepted; the arguments mentioned were that
it's better to define atomicity with respect to values not value spaces, and
the definition offered in comment #8 seems to be a definition of primitiveness,
not atomicity.  

Speaking personally, I am conscious that the latter argument also applies 
(albeit less strongly, I think) to the wording we accepted, and I continue 
to regard the definition of atomic value as a bit of a soft spot.  If a 
better formulation is found, we can and should consider it in a separate
later editorial proposal.
