           Summary: {context} of simple types
           Product: XML Schema

1. (minor editorial) In section 3.16.2.1:

"2.4.2 otherwise (the grandparent element information item is <simpleContent>),
the Simple Type Definition which is the {content type} of the Complex Type
Definition corresponding to the great-grandparent <complexType> element
information item."

{content type} should be {content type}.{simple type definition}.

2. In 3.4.2.2, {content type}.{simple type definition} is

"a simple type definition which restricts ... with a set of facet components
... as defined in Simple Type Restriction (Facets) (§3.16.6.4);"

This doesn't specify what the values should be for properties of this simple
type definition, other than {variety}, {primitive type definition}, and
{facets}. In particular, it's not clear what the {context} should be for this
simple type.

Suggest to specify that the {context} is the complex type definition
corresponding to the ancestor <complexType>. Or, even better, to specify values
for all the properties of this simple type.
