The first example in section 4.6 (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#composition-importRestrictions) shows the following import element: <import schemaAbbrev='abbrev1' schemaName='http://coolbits.com/otherschema.xsd' archetypes='true' datatypes='true' > <elementTypeRef name='myElement'/> <elementTypeRef name='otherElement'/> </import> "According to the description, "all datatypes and achetypes that are exported from 'otherschema', as well as the elements named 'myElement' and 'otherElement' are imported." My question: if, as the DTD at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#normative-schemaDTD tells us, the default value for the import element type's elementTypes attribute is "true," wouldn't all datatypes, archetypes, <emph>and element types</emph> be imported already? Why should the example explicitly import the myElement and otherElement element types? In fact, if the default values for the archetypes and datatypes attributes are also true, wouldn't an import element of <import schemaAbbrev='abbrev1' schemaName='http://coolbits.com/otherschema.xsd'></import> import all the datatypes, archetypes, and element types? Or is the example just being explicit because the default values are still up in the air? thanks, Bob DuCharme www.snee.com/bob <bob@ snee.com> "The elements be kind to thee, and make thy spirits all of comfort!"
