Subject: Re: [ubl] Discussion of substitution groups


Mark

That's surprising, thanks for the
correction. However I'd be hard
pressed to find a better reason
for global. Global seems to me
to tie in very much with type
oriented schemas and that in turn
ties in with polymorhism (which
requires the global elements as well
as the global types). In other words
it seems to me that the industry,
where advocating global schemas
(increasingly so, it seems) does
seem to do so with features such
as inheritance / polymorphic
treatment of types strongly in mind,
along with the growing tool and
other standard support (XSLT 2, etc).
I think Eduardo's/Arofan's paper
on the subject went along these lines.

All the best

Steve

Sorry Stephen - we NEVER put the advantages of XSD derivation on the
table when discussing global/local.
