[Bug 3243] Definition of anySimpleType

------- Comment #7 from cmsmcq@w3.org  2007-10-26 22:15 -------
The Working Group discussed the idea in comment #5 during our call of 
26 October 2007.  There was broad agreement that distinguishing between
potential and effable value spaces, and introducing terms for them,
would be useful; also that the special types should be described as
having potential value spaces larger than their effable value spaces
(because they contain ineffable values).

There was disagreement over whether to say that list types had ineffable
values in their potential value spaces or to say that for user-constructable
list types, the potential value space and the effable value space are always
the same.  No consequence of the different formulations was identified which
would be identifiable by means of schema-validity assessment; the main
consequence would be for the use of list types in other contexts, and
for compatibility of current list types with list types constructed using
some future version of XSDL in which delimiters other than white space
might be allowed.

The status of the issue remains needsDrafting; the proposals prepared by
the editors should be informed by the WG discussion, but no specific
instructions were given.
