We want to give an authoring tool/XSchema explorer/etc. a way to determine the roots of useful/possible documents. That is, it is a way for the XSchema designer to say, "If you start with any of these elements, the resulting documents can be interpreted by the nifty software I wrote to go with this XSchema." Simon's proposal (Recommended | Possible | Forbidden) identifies those elements that, when used as roots, result in documents that work with the associated software (Recommended), those elements that that result in useful documents (Possible), and those elements that for some reason (I'm not sure what) should never be used as a root. (Note also that this attribute does not say anything about whether an element should be included in a different XSchema. Presumably, all elements can be included in other XSchemas.) I don't understand what this has to do with working on the individual fragments of a document. -- Ron Bourret xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
