Re: [ubl-ndrsc] Rule: 91

["Eve L. Maler" <eve.maler@sun.com>]

Actually, I believe naming does equate with being global.  A 
topLevelComplexType requires its name attribute, and a localComplexType 
prohibits its name attribute from being used.  Roughly the same is true 
for simple types.  (See http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd )

So probably the rule could be shortened to:

[R 91]  All types MUST be named.

Explanatory text could then mention that the purpose is for reuse and 
extension, and that the syntactic consequence of the rule is that the 
types must all be declared as top-level.
