Dave,

Thanks, that helps. I have changed my elements to look more as you have 
suggested and it is working correctly now. Maybe I'll look into doing the 
necessary validation with validation methods as I saw in your documentation.

Thanks,
Noel

Noel -

I do not believe that generateDS.py will support restrictions on a
simpleType.  I just recently did some work to add some support for
restrictions on a complexType.

I'd recommend that you change it to something like the following:

       <xs:element name="AHLeakSA" type="xs:double" minOccurs="0">
             <xs:annotation>
                 <xs:documentation>Fraction of air-handler flow rate that is
lost on the supply-side of the air-handler.</xs:documentation>
             </xs:annotation>
         </xs:element>

That's about the best that generateDS.py can do right now, I'm
afraid.  Will that work for you.  I'll give it a test myself, tomorrow.
And,  I'll take another look to see if there is a simple fix for this.

- Dave
