[NEW ISSUE] Definition of <value/> element is missing from the sca-core XSD

       sca-assembly-1.1-spec-cd03.doc

Description:

The text of the specification, particularly
section 4.4, and its associated pseudo-schemas, make it clear
that a <value/> subelement of
<property/> exists and is used for declaring property values for
any type
of property element.  However,
there is no definition of the <value/> subelement in the sca-core
XSD in 
section A2.

Proposal:

Add the following at the end of sca-core
XSD, around line 4455 in CD03:

   <element
name="value"
type="sca:ValueType"/>
   <complexType
name="ValueType"
mixed="true">
      <sequence>
         <any
namespace="##any"
processContents="lax"
minOccurs="0"/>
      </sequence>
      <!--
mixed="true" to handle simple type -->
      <anyAttribute
namespace="##any"
processContents="lax"/>
   </complexType>

This provides a global element <value/>
and its type is defined in such a way that it can represent any type
of data representable in XSD - ie both
simple and complex types.
