Now to the original suggestion:

Not an errata item this time, but rather some suggested clean-ups of
the schemas towards a future 2.0:

Definition of <body> element:

  <xsd:element name="body">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0">
        <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="xlf:group"/>
        <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="xlf:trans-unit"/>
        <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="xlf:bin-unit"/>
      </xsd:choice>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>

maxOccurs and minOccurs in xsd:element is reduntant. should be rewritten as:

  <xsd:element name="body">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0">
        <xsd:element ref="xlf:group"/>
        <xsd:element ref="xlf:trans-unit"/>
        <xsd:element ref="xlf:bin-unit"/>
      </xsd:choice>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>

Definition of <group> element:

  <xsd:element name="group">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
        ....
        <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="xlf:group"/>
          <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
ref="xlf:trans-unit"/>
          <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="xlf:bin-unit"/>
        </xsd:choice>
      </xsd:sequence>
      ...
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>

Same change as previous.

The other instances where this would have been applicable - namely
<header>, <trans-unit> and <bin-unit>, - is represented in the schema
"correctly".

cheers,
asgeir
