Looking at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2002JanMar/
I have the weird feeling that www-xml-schema-comments has become a
honeypot to attract spam and that I'd better forward my question here!
Thanks

The question is 80% academic since anySimpleType can't be derived and
thus no facets can be applied on this type, but I am wondering how you
define a "union of value spaces" in:
[Definition:] There exists a conceptual datatype, whose name is
anySimpleType, that is the simple version of the ur-type definition from
[XML Schema Part 1: Structures]. anySimpleType can be considered as the
�base type� of all �primitive� types. The �value space� of anySimpleType
can be considered to be the �union� of the �value space�s of all
�primitive� datatypes.
More generaly speaking I think that anySimpleType is under defined since
you don't say anything (unless I have missed it) about its properties
and canonical form which are usually associated with the value space in
the primitive types definitions.
I am wondering, for instance what an API or PSVI exposing the canonical
forms and properties could tell about a type defined as "anySimpleType".
Thanks
