I think you're confusing the role of the XML processor and the application built on top of it. You've typed the element as "number" but included string information. This relies on an implicit mapping to a string, which is properly the role of the application. If you are restricted to schemas, you have to look at the requirements. If the problem is one of extension, e.g., tomrrow I add 6 => XYZ, then type the element as an enumeration and bypass the numeric encoding. If the problem is one of changing the mapping, e.g., tomorrow 5 stops mapping to COM and maps to XYZ, schemas won't help you. Look at changing the authoring app or the consuming app or both with a data driven mapping -- possibly XML. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
