Dear XmlSchema developers, I wish to propose that commons-xml-schema take the attitude that the data model is the value space of Xml Schema documents, not the lexical space.
In XML Schema, xs:QName elements contain a full namespace reference as their underlying data. The fact that the text domain can have an unqualified name is just notation. In working with XmlSchema on CXF, my experience is that I constantly want the XmlSchema objects to be a representation of the value space, not the lexical space, of XML Schema documents. In this view, various APIs in XML schema could throw when presented with manifestly impossible values. Or, some additional APIs could be added to make additional checks. For example, all calls to setRefName could be validated given an XmlSchemaCollection to validate them against. Does this view meet with general approval? --benson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
