My processes are all triggered on the schema expressions, so I could 
change all references that are to CurrencyCodeType (the simpleType) 
to be CurrencyCodeContentType (the complexType) in my local copy of 
the schema expressions, but then the work that I produce wouldn't 
match the working draft 2.0 schemas that are out there today.

Fine .... I do not need *finalized* schemas but are there more 
up-to-date draft schemas with which I can do my code list work?  We 
have been tasked with producing a new package of support deliverables 
for the end of February.  Will there be a corresponding set of schema 
expressions with the end-of-February support package?

I am designing my systems so that I can recreate my outputs from any 
set of schema expression inputs, be they hand-edited by me to remove 
the inconsistencies, or generated by software with the fixes.  I am 
automating as much as I can, but the processes need tender 
ministrations to get from start to finish.

What should I do for the end of February support package?  My gut 
feel is to publish my work *with* the inconsistency since that is 
consistent with the schema files that have been published.

I will proceed in this fashion unless people feel strongly otherwise.

Thanks, Sylvia!
