           Summary: Inappropriate use of MAY in 2.4.1.1
           Product: XML Schema
           Version: 1.1 only

          Priority: P2

In 2.4.1.1 we read "No ·user-defined· datatype MAY have anyAtomicType as its
·base type·"

The RFC2119 "MAY" is always permissive. We should not use RFC markup for an
occurrence of "may" that is imposing a constraint. 

Suggest: "A ·user-defined· datatype MUST NOT have anyAtomicType as its ·base
type·"
