------- Comment #4 from cmsmcq@w3.org  2007-12-14 17:22 -------
Thank you for the comment.

The XML Schema Working Group discussed this issue on our call today.  In
view of the suggestion in comment #3, it appears that the effect you need
can be achieved without changes to the XSDL spec.  In addition, introducing 
abstract simple types would involve what appears to us to be a great deal of
complexity (much of it invisible in the spec), which we would gladly avoid 
at this point.  There was also some uncertainty about whether allowing
abstract simple types would actually do what you need, given that complex
types with simple content have anyType, not the simple type of their
content, as their {base type definition}. So we propose to close this issue 
without making any change to the spec.

We hope that you are happy with the suggestion in comment #3 and thus are 
willing to accept our closing the issue without action.  If so, you can so 
indicate by changing the status zof the issue to CONFIRMED.  If you are 
unhappy and would like to register a formal appeal of the WG's decision, you 
can indicate that by changing the status to REOPENED.  If we don't hear from 
you in the next month, we'll assume that you accept the WG's disposition 
of the issue.
