Henry, are you saying that in XML Schemas, a schema-defined attribute specified by a user in an instance (apart from xsi:type) can ever select the type or facet of the value of that element or of another attribute? Can you give an example? (Note, I am not talking about fixed or defaulted values from a schema documenting the current type. That is something quite different. I mean keying {i.e. selection} of type.) Rick. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
