Re: Altova problem

[jon.bosak@sun.com]

The immediate problem noted in the first message in this thread
has been resolved for the moment by requesting Altova to use the
schemas in the UBL 1.0 xsdrt directory.  This will allow the UBL
schemas to be included in the next major release of XML Spy.  Due
to the delay caused by this problem, SBS support will not be
included in that major release, but it will be provided in the
subsequent maintenance release of the product.

It appears, however, that the problem identified by Altova still
remains an issue that will need to be dealt with in UBL 2.0.  The
suggested fix was simply to change the definition of
<xsd:complexType name="ComponentType"> in the schema file
UBL-CoreComponentParameters-1.0.xsd to make the <ccts:Definition>
element optional:

   <xsd:element ref="Definition" minOccurs="0"/>

Aside from logging this as an issue, I would like to ask: is
something for UBL to address, or is this a matter for UN/CEFACT?
