Subject: [xml-dev] XSD question: Can the name of a simpleType be the name of
a built-in datatype?
Hi Folks,
Is this legal:
<xsd:simpleType name="boolean" id="boolean">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:boolean">
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
Notice that the name of the simpleType (boolean) is the name of the built-in
boolean datatype.
Saxon seems to think it's illegal:
Error: A simple type must not be based on itself
I don't see anything in XML Schema Part 1 that prohibits the name of a
simpleType being the name of a built-in datatype.
/Roger
