Subject: SV: SV: [ubl] Discussion XSD implementation of extensions



Hi Ken,

Allan just pointed out the UBL rule that one can't have an empty element,
i.e. element without content or attributes. 

With what you're proposing for Streaming purposes one ends up with possible
empty elements.

Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen

I'm in agreement with this.

Don't know if it should be allowed to be empty, despite the benefits to
streaming processing. I don't want things to be done in a particular way to
benefit one processing model. 

What do you think the chances are of people outputting extension elements
that are empty? Without extension content?

Also I would think that would make it difficult or less optimizable for some
implementors that might want different handling of extensions or not
stream-based handling of the format.



Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
