This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This issue was originally reported by Ben Clemens. This was R-164 (http://www.w3.org/2001/05/xmlschema-rec-comments.html#pfiPrimerPOXmp). The address example should be changed not to use decimal for Zip codes. See the following: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2002AprJun/0172.html Resolved at the 2003-07-31 telecon to defer to 1.1, and to suggest to the editor that she use postal codes to illustrate patterns. The underlying issue applies to both Structures and Datatypes. This Bugzilla entry is for Structures.
Examining the original comment and its treatment in the old Rec Comments list and the 1.1 Requirements list, I conclude that it landed here in error (possibly due to an error during the mass data transfer into Bugzilla from the old Requirements document. The original comment applies to the primer, and only the primer, not to Structures and not to Datatypes. Accordingly, I am marking this RESOLVED / INVALID. If anyone objects to this disposition, they should re-open it and explain what they believe needs to be done to Structures to support the resolution of the issue. The Primer issue is bug 2161.
