Muralli,

a) You do not need to use xsi:type in the document if you derive the type
by restriction. In the schema you can simply associate the derived type
with an element.

However, if you want to implement alternative contents for the same
element, than you use the xsi:type which allows you to specify desirable
content in each document.

Cheers,

I think these are related.. Can someone tell me --

a) If we derive types by restriction, do we have to use xsi:type in the
document? Is it true if I say that the document will be valid irrespective
of whether we use xsi:type or not .. We use xsi:type to know the "precise"
type??

b) Is there any point in using block for restriction

thanks and regards - murali.
