Re: Issue: overlapping with XML Schema Part 2

[James Clark <jjc@jclark.com>]

I believe the concept of restriction in XML Schema Part 2 is broken.  The
only way of treating XML Schema Part 2 facets that I have been able to find
that isn't broken is to treat them as parameters.  If facets are just
parameters, what would derivation mean?

Your proposal doesn't allow me to name a type and derive a new type from
it. I think this might be a considerable drawback.

<simpleType name="localTime">
  <restriction base="time"><!-- prohibit time zone -->
    <pattern value="[0-9]+:[0-9]+:[0-9]+" />
  </restriction>
</simpleType>

....

<element name="officeHours">
  <data type="localTime">
    <param name="minInclusive" value="08:00:00" />
    <param name="minInclusive" value="20:00:00" />
  </data>
</element>
