Another approach might even be simpler.
What if we remove the DeploymentDescriptor element from the PackageDescriptor?
We have a defined enum value for a File purpose called "deploymentDescriptor".
Thus, we can state that to be fully compliant with the SDD
specification, a PackageDescriptor MUST contain a File with a purpose="deploymentDescriptor".
This element would reference an XML document that is compliant with
the deployment descriptor section of this specification.
Thoughts?

Issue 31: Is the correspondence between deploymentDescriptor
and the file element defining the deployment descriptor simply the fact
that the pathname matches? This seems odd. It seems more usual for the
deploymentDescriptor to reference the file instead. Currently, the answer
is yes - the only correspondence is the matching URI and pathname.
In researching this, I've discovered that the situation isn't what I thought.
In v1 of the iudd schema files had an ID and were referenced with an IDref.
Now, files are referenced (at least in artifact elements) by referring
to the same URI used in the file element. That is, the URI used in an artifact
is simply a pointer to a file element. If the URI in deployment descriptor
is intended to be used the same way - as a pointer, then we just need to
document this clearly in the deploymentDescriptor element text.
Here's what the xml would look like for deploymentDescriptor element and
the file element for the deployment descriptor.
<deploymentDescriptor>sdd.xml</deploymentDescriptor>
<file charEncoding=""
compression="false"
length="0"
pathname="sdd.xml"
purpose="deploymentdescriptor">
<ds:DigestMethod
Algorithm="http://www.ibm.com"></ds:DigestMethod>
<ds:DigestValue>0</ds:DigestValue>
</file>
Randy or Christine, can you verify that the intent is for the URI used
in deploymentDescriptor to be a pointer to a file element?
