Hello,

There are a couple of updates that need to be integrated into the final
version of the schemas.  I found a couple of group definitions missing in
the Mapgroup Domain. The following group definition need to be added the
mapGroupMod.xsd.  Without these group definitions for <topichead>  and
<topicgroup>  cannot be specialized using the schema design pattern.

<xs:group name="topichead">   <xs:choice>     <xs:element
ref="topichead"/>        </xs:choice>
</xs:group>

<xs:group name="topicgroup">   <xs:choice>     <xs:element
ref="topicgroup"/>   </xs:choice>
</xs:group>

The other piece that needs to be updated is the location of the declaration
of the base attribute groups that is used for the attribute
specialization.  At the moment, the definitions are located in
commonElementMod.xsd.
They need to be moved to commonElementGrp.xsd.  The reason they need to be
moved is because it makes it easier for users to override these attribute
groups.  They should have been moved a while back when Paul Grosso
discovered a discrepancy between how Xerces-C and Xerces-J validate the
redefinition of schema documents.

See the following note in the archive for a bit more background.

Here are the two attribute group definitions that need to be moved from
commonElementMod.xsd to commonElementGrp.xsd.
<xs:attributeGroup name="props-attribute-extensions"/>
<xs:attributeGroup name="base-attribute-extensions"/>

There are no changes needed for the architectural spec regarding this
issue.


Kind regards,
Eric
