RE: redefining or restricting children of a predefined element

Thanks Michael,

I'll go and make the necessary changes and the cozy up with a copy of XML Schema
1.1. I'm guessing I can't do this by defining a datatype via simple or complex
type, define the emphasis type as said named type, and them restrict there. This
is where I actually ran into trouble.
