[Bug 6021] Stylesheet for xs:override

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6021

Thank you for the heads-up on the garbled text in section 4.2.4.
A quick review of the source shows that when the WG adopted the 
relevant change proposal [1] on 6 June 2008, some but not all of the
changes included in the proposal were included in the status quo,
including the one that deleted the end of the sentence to which you refer.
Others were not included, owing to a clerical error made by me, including
the change group that inserted the replacement text for the end of that
sentence.  (We normally have a deletion and its replacing insertion marked
with the same identifier, to ensure that this doesn't happen; these had
different identifiers, for reasons I won't bother to reconstruct or
rehearse here.

The same clerical error caused the inclusion of the wrong stylesheet
in the appendix; the correct stylesheet refers to xs:override, not
to xs:replace.

The working group may wish to issue a corrected last-call draft with these
errors corrected.

On the utility of xs:override, I think you are right that there will
be cases where it is less helpful than one might wish.  But I am 
reluctant to remove it, if only because that would raise the question of 
removing the deprecation note against redefine, which I regard as the single 
most constructive step the WG has been able to take w.r.t. schema composition.
