This gives less functionality than XML DTDs, since you can have
multiple ATTLISTs for one element type. XSchema should provide that;
maybe
<!ATTLIST XSC:AttDef
ElementType NMTOKEN #IMPLIED>
If the AttDef specifies an ElementType, it applies to the named
element type. If not, and it is contained in an ElementDecl, then it
applies to that element type; otherwise it is an error.
----------------------------------
This is acceptable to me, though I still maintain a preference for what I
consider the much more easily read (and even managed, in my world) nesting
solution. This is a moderate solution that certainly expands the capabilities
of XSchema without exploding everything open. XSchema processors should be
able to normalize this without too much hell breaking loose.
