"While I like this proposal and think there is a definite need for it, I would rather see it as an addition to, rather than a replacement of, a simple data type attribute. This is not a technical issue, merely a usability one. It has simply been my experience that explaining what a function is to non-technical or moderately technical people is very difficult; explaining what a data type is, is not. Furthermore, I suspect that 80-90% of the data typing needs in a document can be met by a subset of the DCD data types. I am therefore reluctant to get rid of such a simple method, especially since data type attributes would be easily reusable outside of schema files:" I think I agree with that. I saw the validation scheme more as a way to do advance stuff and which could, if built into a parser, provide a way to do validation for any blessed W3C typing scheme as well (behind the scenes by just putting in a function bundle for those types and making the parser aware of the fact that these special types have associated validation functions out there to use.) ---------------------------------------- Dean Roddey Software Weenie IBM Center for Java Technology - Silicon Valley roddey@u... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
