So by this I think you mean that the ebXML schemas used these tags in these
locations in a way that actually violates the Schema specification; however,
it was intended that such usage be allowed and this was just left out of the
documents by mistake?

Please confirm my understanding.

Thanks,

Subject: Re: Apparent bug with the XSElementDecl::getAnnotations() API


Hi Elisha,

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a recognized problem.  The 
problem doesn't, however, lie with Xerces-C's implementation (Xerces-J 
does the same thing); the designers of XML Schema forgot to leave a place 
in any component where such annotations could be hung off of.  Note that 
the XSElementDeclaration isn't an appropriate place, since it's the 
declaration, and is shared among all references (as well as at the global 
level).
 
I believe there are plans to fix this for XML Schema 1.1 (e-mail the 
Schema comments list if you wish to support that idea). 

Cheers,
Neil
