Without responding to the details of Murray and Len's exchange, two points: 1) Murray is of course right that the logic of content models is not made any easier by changing their notation; 2) Complexity is in the eye of the beholder, and the advantage to the user of being able to use the SAME graphical UI to construct both instance and schema might be taken to operate in favour of the schema approach in this area. ht ---- Note: I am not now nor have I ever been a Microsoft employee, nor is Steve De Rose. Microsoft paid for my trip to Redmond during which the foundations for the XML-Data document were laid, but they don't own or operate me. I've learned by working with our co-authors at Microsoft and their colleagues that there are people in Redmond who lack horns and are both technically competent and genuinely interested in standards. Accordingly, I'd be greatful if those commenting on this document could avoid the cheap rhetorical device of referring to "the Microsoft approach", implying thereby that it shouldn't be taken seriously because we all know that Microsoft are {only in it for the money, aiming at world domination, fundamentally duplicitous, . . .}, and concentrate on technical issues. ht xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
