Section 3.1.4 states: "The language used is as if the correspondences were mappings from XML representation to schema component, but the mapping in the other direction, and therefore the correspondence in the abstract, can always be constructed therefrom." Above is the original text. I suspect that the following is what was meant : "The language used is as if the correspondences were mappings from XML representation to schema component, but the mapping _is_ in the other direction, and therefore the correspondence in the abstract__ can always be constructed therefrom." My changes are delimited by '_'. ( Added 'is' and removed comma. ) See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2004JanMar/0050.html
I believe the original working is correct. It means to say both "the mapping in the other directin" and "the correspondence in the abstract" can be constructed. Propose to mark this one as resolved/(invalid/worksforme).
Discussed during 2005-09-16 WG telecon. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2005Sep/0081.html In a perfect world, this sentence might be made simpler to read without confusion, but it's actually clear now, on careful reading.
