Re: [ubl-dev] infinite loop

[Stephen Green <stephengreenubl@gmail.com>]

Hi Elisa

If you think of it like in HTML where a table cell can
contain a table which contains rows which contain cells ...
but the difference is that UBL has to make everything
explicit in the schema (apart from the Extension element)
so the schemas get these loops. There's nothing abnormal
about it. In terms of 'meaning' of the loops, it's a bit like
having a family tree structure where parents 'contain'/have
children who can themselves be parents having other children
so any family tree structure will have endless loop possibilities.

Best regards

Steve
