Re: Attributes, simpleContent, etc.

Hi Jon,

Based on a quick look, try changing the line:

        <xs:restriction base="xs:double">

and its corresponding </xs:restriction> to:

        <xs:extension base="xs:double">

"simpleType" explanation[:-)]: you're extending (rather than restricting)
the double simpleType into simpleContent.

HTH,

Pete.
