Here is a copy as written:


     Order-Cancellation.xsd
         |               |
         |               v

         |          |       |||

         |          |  Each-Code-List.xsd
         |          |   Each-Code-List.xsd
         |          |    Each-Code-List.xsd
         |          |         |||
         v          v         vvv

Agreed ... I see that now.

Agreed.

I disagree here.

Looking at Order-Cancellation.xsd I see, for example:

    ref="cat:StatusCode"

... and in UBL-Reusable.xsd I see:

     <xsd:element name="StatusCode" type="status:DerivedCodeType"/>

(but using the old name; we agreed on the above DerivedCodeType name at the 
LCSC meeting).

But I do not see the need to reference status:DerivedCodeType in 
Order-Cancellation and the validation I have done illustrates there is no 
need for the Order-Cancellation model to reference the status: namespace.

Therefore, I think the resulting ASCII art should look like:

     Order-Cancellation.xsd
         |               |
         |               v
         |       UBL-Reusable.xsd
         |          |       |||
         |          |       vvv
         |          |  Each-Code-List.xsd
         |          |   Each-Code-List.xsd
         |          |    Each-Code-List.xsd
         |          |         |||
         v          v         vvv
         Core-Component-Types.xsd


Thank you for helping to better understand the relationship between Common 
Aggregate types and Reusable, Chee-Kai!
