Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for my question, forgive me if it is not and feel free to point me in the correct direction for it. What I would like to do is create a new simpleType that is identical to a built-in type, without any restrictions. Consider an example from C language: typedef uint16_t my_element_type; What's the point? Well doing this allows me to use the "my_element_type" everywhere and if it's size ever changes from say the 16 bits defined to say 32 bits, I can just replace the line above with: typedef uint32_t my_element_type and the update becomes automatic throughout. I thought something like this would have been perfect but is iilegal: <xsd:simpleType name="my_element_type" base="xsd:unsignedShort"/> then I tried this: <xsd:simpleType name="my_element_type"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:unsignedShort"/> </xsd:simpleType> but it too is illegal. Is there an elegant way to do this? Thanks in advance! -- HK Chan
