Re: [wsbpel] Issue - 289 - draft text to describe the relationshipXML Schema and Spec

[Alex Yiu <alex.yiu@oracle.com>]

Hi all,

Here is an updated proposed text (with more input from Martin)
---------------------
Where there is disagreement between the separate XML schema files, the 
XML schemas in the appendices, any pseudo-schema in the descriptive 
text, and the normative descriptive text, the normative descriptive text 
will take precedence over the separate XML Schema files. The separate 
XML Schema files take precedence over any pseudo-schema and over any XML 
schema included in the appendices.

XML Schemas only enforce a subset of constraints described in the 
normative descriptive text. Hence, a WS-BPEL artifact, such as a process 
definition, can be valid according to the XML Schemas only but not valid 
according to the normative descriptive text.
---------------------

Regards,
Alex Yiu
