re: [relax-ng] Some ideas about simple type assignment

Murato,

I like this alot.

Are we also looking at a Prologesque approach here,
where conversion is externally supported as necessary
and the parser can detect simple type changes and
provide warnings....?!?

Thanks, DW.

I propose some design goals:

- It should be possible to do simple type assignment
  without validation, which is sometimes too heavy and 
  not available in your favorite programming language.

- Given an instance, it should be easy for average progammers
  to implement simple type assignment.  Undestanding of
  theoretical computer science (e.g., automata) should not be
  required.

- Given a schema as well as some auxiliary descripsions for
  simple type assignment, it should be possible to 
  tell whether simple type assignment is possible for ANY 
  instance.
