Subject: Re: [ubl] Draft 2.0 Schemas with Currency Codes edited to unions
Marty, I'm afraid I don't agree with you that this is a good compromise. I understand that you have a solution that supports some of our goals. However, and this is a big point: ---- What is the value of a Schema enumeration that doesn't provide any validation of instance document values against the enumerated values? ---- As you pointed out, it gives you pop-ups for enumeration values in XML Spy (and perhaps in some other XML editors too), but I don't see that as a major requirement or use case. In fact, I think people would be scratching their heads about why we would publish enumerated Schema types that don't perform validation. If we aren't going to validate the values, let's just leave the values out of the Schema. If we have enumerated values in the Schema, let's make sure that can be used for validation. I know that the various constraints that we have picked up are making it difficult to find a workable solution, but I want to suggest that the guidelines in this paragraph are ones we have to follow so that we end up with something that the rest of the world will consider to be sensible. Fair comment, or not? Cheers, Tony. On Wed, 07 Dec 2005 15:31:23 -0000, <Burnsmarty@aol.com> wrote: > Stephen, > This is not a problem.
