Hi Ann,
Thanks for the quick answer. Another question:
The {ref} attribute is used only to refer to a global {element}? Can it
be used to refer to a {complexType}? If so, then is it possible to
define an {element} and a {complexType} with the same name?
Thanks,
Shahar.

Subject: Re: Schema question
You may define a particular element only once in a schema, so if the
element is used in multiple places, you must define it as a global and
reference it from the various types that use it. (Only global elements
can be referenced.) Or perhaps you want to allow the element to be
used both as a root element and as a child element in another element.
Here's an example:
<s:element name="foo" type="s:string"/>
<s:element name="foobar" type="tns:foobarType"/>
<s:complexType name="foobarType">
<s:sequence>
<s:element ref="tns:foo"/>
<s:element name="bar" type="s:string"/>
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>
