[DFDL-WG] short form on xs:schema?

[Steve Hanson]

Suman

That is exactly what Mike is suggesting. If you look at Table 7 in the 
spec (section 7.1) and the wording about short form in section 7.1.3.3 
then the natural assumption is that DFDL attributes on xs:schema would be 
allowed as the short form of the anonymous dfdl:format annotation's 
properties.  If a property occurs in both short form and attribute/element 
form that is a schema definition error as per section 7.1.3.

So, are there any reasons why this should not be allowed?  I can recall 
this being discussed in the past but I don't remember a conclusion. The 
only reason I can think of is that it would easy for a human reader to 
miss DFDL properties on xs:schema because of all the namespace attributes 
that typically occur there.  But that's just a formatting/style thing.

One way to view this annotation would be as if it is defined on the 
default format at the xs:schema..   Question would be what if dfdl:format 
at xs:schema also has dfdl:encoding specified - which one would win ?..

I don't know that we ever talked about this.

Most schema constructs support short form

<xs:element ... dfdl:encoding="utf-8" />

Does the xs:schema itself support short form for the "default" format 
properties?

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="...."
    dfdl:encoding="utf-8">
...
</xs:schema>
