Subject: [ebxml-cppa] Adding #wildcard
element to provide extensibility
In the Messaging spec, #wildcard element content is
supported in every SOAP extension as well as in all of their major repeating
sub-elements.
To provide extensibility in the CPP/CPA structure, I think
it may be useful to allow #wildcard extensions in most elements in the CPP/A
schema.
I know RosettaNet's TPA Foundational Program would like to
express message exchange requirements in terms of CPP/A. However, not enough
initial work has been done to determine if there are major show stoppers.
Allowing namespace qualified wildcard extensions may help industry groups like
RosettaNet to adopt the use of CPP/A.
If there is support for this idea, I like to include such
wildcard extensions in the 1.02 version of the spec.
Thanks,
