Hello all, I have the following example. For my understanding of
schema, I should have been obliged to use <xs:element ref="tns:Customer" /> but <xs:element name="Customer" /> is valid. For me, element name = means I am going to declare the content of
Customer element inline. Here I think I should be obliged to use ref and I is
not the case. Can someone can enlighten me on tis.
