RE: [uddi-spec] elementFormDefault in uddi_v3policy.xsd

Max,

The approach of removing the explicit specification of values that are the
default value was agreed during the last call.  If particular parsers do not
handle defaults correctly then they should be fixed, and people can add the
value explicitly in the meantime if they have to.  I think the schemas we
produce should be as clear and concise as we can make them.  I suspect that,
for example, if the schemas did not have these attributes specified unless
they really needed to be, then most of the questions about the values would
not arise.

I am aware that the default value is unqualified, I said so in my note.

The question I was asking was whether unqualified was the correct value for
elementFormDefault in the policy schema as the other schemas use qualified.
