Description Alex Milowski 2006-10-20 15:49:03 UTC 
The term "default axis" is used in XPath to apply to all steps and there is a
single default.  This is different from the use in SCDs.  This probably needs to 
be clarified or have the term changed to something else.
Comment 1 Mary Holstege 2008-01-15 21:37:46 UTC 
This comment is related to additional comments arising from the XQuery/Schema joint task force (http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/09/scds) which were considered at the meeting of 10 Oct 2007.

Changing to a more axis-oriented description leads to renaming "default axis" as "default arc", which will resolve this issue.
