Hello, My first problem surrounds understanding the term "facet" [Fundamental facet, Non-fundamental, Constraining, etc]. My other problem is to understand attributes, versus the concept of a facet. How theses two identities affects each others? The specs says: "A facet is a single defining aspect of a ˇvalue spaceˇ. Generally speaking, each facet characterizes a ˇvalue spaceˇ along independent axes or dimensions." [Section 2.4, Facets. http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#facets] On facets, attributes and "ref" or "name" usage: Most likely the specifications forbids: <complexType> ... <!-- not a facet --> <attribute ref="foo:bar" /> ... </complexType> In return this might validate: <complexType> ... <!-- a facet --> <attribute name="bar" use="required" /> ... </complexType> Regards, Etienne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
