Hi Mik, > I was wondering what the use is of the 'fixed'-attribute in the > 'length' - facet. It doesn't have any use. The fixed attribute means the same thing for all facets: it means that subtypes can't change the value of that facet. For example, if the 'minInclusive' facet were fixed, then you couldn't change the minInclusive facet to something other than the value it was fixed on. But as you say, the length facet can't be changed anyway. Similarly, if the 'whiteSpace' facet were set to 'collapse' there'd be no point in fixing it to that value because the only legal value it could have in a subtype is 'collapse'.
