As discussed in our call today, I looked into the XML Schema schema (no
typo) to figure out whether we can reuse a good schema constraint to
represent template constraints not only pertaining to simple types.
>From my point of view, we have two choices:
<xs:group name="typeDefParticle">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>
'complexType' uses this</xs:documentation></xs:annotation>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="group" type="xs:groupRef"/>
<xs:element ref="xs:all"/>
<xs:element ref="xs:choice"/>
<xs:element ref="xs:sequence"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:group>
<xs:group name="nestedParticle">
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="element" type="xs:localElement"/>
<xs:element name="group" type="xs:groupRef"/>
<xs:element ref="xs:choice"/>
<xs:element ref="xs:sequence"/>
<xs:element ref="xs:any"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:group>
typeDefParticle asks for all, choice and sequence, plus group as the
top-level element. nestedParticle allows us to define a element straight
away - and its type.
The types localElement or topLevelElement would just allow to define an
element, which could be good enough.
In case we want high flexibilty, let's take nestedParticle, otherwise
topLevelElement. It would be alternative to the simpleRestrictions we
already have.
Opinions?
