Michael Stahl commented on OFFICE-3860:
---------------------------------------

have updated Proposal with Regina's suggestion.

re (1): yes, this is obviously the case.

re (2): i agree this is possible,  and all the existing
  <interleave>...only-attributes-here...</interleave>
 in the specification are actually unnecessary.

http://relaxng.org/spec-20011203.html#full-syntax

how does it work?

we start with

<define name="foo-elem">
    <element name="foo">
       <ref name="bar-attr/>
    </element>
</define>

<define name="foo-attr">
    <optional><attribute name="bar"/></optional>
    <optional><attribute name="baz"/></optional>
</define>

apply "4.8. name attribute of element and attribute elements"

<define name="foo-elem">
    <element>
        <name>foo</name>
        <ref name="bar-attr/>
    </element>
</define>

<define name="foo-attr">
    <optional><attribute><name>bar</name></attribute></optional>
    <optional><attribute><name>baz</name></attribute></optional>
</define>

apply "4.12. Number of child elements"

<define name="foo-elem">
    <element>
        <name>foo</name>
        <ref name="bar-attr/>
    </element>
</define>

<define name="foo-attr">
    <group>
        <optional><attribute><name>bar</name><text/></attribute></optional>
        <optional><attribute><name>baz</name><text/></attribute></optional>
    </group>
</define>

apply "4.14. optional element"

<define name="foo-elem">
    <element>
        <name>foo</name>
        <ref name="bar-attr/>
    </element>
</define>

<define name="foo-attr">
    <group>
        <choice>
            <attribute><name>bar</name><text/></attribute>
            <empty/>
        </choice>
        <choice>
            <attribute><name>baz</name><text/></attribute>
            <empty/>
        </choice>
    </group>
</define>

apply "4.19. define and ref elements"

<define name="foo-elem">
    <element>
        <name>foo</name>
        <group>
            <choice>
                <attribute><name>bar</name><text/></attribute>
                <empty/>
            </choice>
            <choice>
                <attribute><name>baz</name><text/></attribute>
                <empty/>
            </choice>
        </group>
    </element>
</define>

now looking at the inference rules (6.2.6. interleave pattern, 6.2.2. group pattern), there is no difference between <group> and <interleave> if they contain only attributes; these only differ when there is more than one possible interleaving of <element> or <text> below them. 

sorry for the lengthy comment but at least i understand RelaxNG a little better now...

> Currently the number:number element use a single attribute number:decimal-places to specify the number of decimal digits to be used. This means that formats such as "0.00#" (specified here using the Excel number format syntax) cannot be translated into ODF without the use of conditional formatting.
> I would propose to add an attribute to allow for formats of this type.
