RE: Simple question on elements constraints

RE: Simple question on elements constraintsThen the fixed attribute isn't
what you want. Instead, create a type that is a restriction of integer and
has minInclusive and maxInclusive set to 3000.

  I cannot remove the 'fixed' attribute or must replace it with something
else because the value of the element 'id' must be 3000 and in the same time
cannot be empty.

  Just remove the fixed="3000" and you'll have what you want.
