Schema: cmis:cmisProperty complex type and its descendants restricts extension elements as children
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CMIS-614
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CMIS-614
             Project: OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Schema
    Affects Versions: Committee Draft 04
            Reporter: Derek Carr
            Priority: Minor


The cmis:cmisProperty complex type and its descendants restricts a providers ability to return extended information elements as children of this element.  This is useful when vendors want to provide additional information associated with a property and its value that is best modeled as extension elements.

For example, if a provider has a string property that represents a user, they may want to support the following in order to embed information about the user:

        <cmis:propertyString propertyDefinitionId="cmis:createdBy" localName="cmis_createdBy" displayName="Created By">
          <cmis:value>John Doe</cmis:value>
          <directory:displayName>John Doe<directory:displayName>
          <directory:principal>jdoe<directory:principal>
          <directory:mail>jdoe@example.com<directory:mail>
        </cmis:propertyString>

The cmis:cmisProperty extended elements do support cmis:cmisUndefinedAttribute attribute group.  

They provide more flexibility and support <xs:any namespace="##other" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="lax"/> as a valid child element.
