Re: [sca-assembly] Inconsistent use of ##other vs. ##any

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

The Assembly TC took a decision some
time ago that all extension elements and attributes should come from any
namespace 
other than the SCA namespace - ie ##other
should be used rather than ##any.  This was decided by the resolution
of ASSEMBLY-23

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/ASSEMBLY-23


There is one exception in the Assembly
XSDs - the definition of the SCAPropertyBase type is special in that it
can contain literally
anything for the type of a property
- so this is ##any.

However, you rightly point out that
the Assembly XSDs contain some other ##any declarations and these are in
error.  I will raise 
an issue to get these changed.  Similar
issues should be raised in other TCs for similar occurrances of ##any.


Yours,  Mike.

On the Java TC call today, Anish remembered that there
was a decision made that our schemas would use the ##other namespace on
extensibility elements. I happened to be modifying one of the java schemas
today to apply a issue resolution and noticed that there's a mix of ##any
and ##other across the board...seemingly across all TCs.

Can someone confirm that ##other was chosen for all uses of <any>
and <anyAttribute> in our schemas? If so, we'll have to get some
issues opened across the TCs.
