In section 3.8.4.2, there are sentences like the following: * if M is a model group which obeys the Unique Particle Attribution (§3.8.6) constraint But UPA only applies to content models (the *root* particle of a complex type), not model groups. * some sequence S of element information items has two ·paths· in P (where P is a particle) But "path" (follow the link) is defined in terms of "in a model group M". * For example, in the content model * By contrast, in the content model The examples (<xs:sequence> or <xs:choice>) aren't necessarily content models. Should use either "particle" or "model group", depending what the definition of "compete" is really for. * Two (or more) ·paths· of a sequence S in a Particle P Again, "path" is defined for model groups. * For any sequence S of element information items and any particle P, a ·path· of S in P Ditto. Seems that the rest of the spec needs concepts like path, validation-path, compete, UPA, ... for particles (and content models); but what's established in earlier parts of 3.8.4 only covers model groups. Maybe at least the concept of "path" should be re-introduced for particles, after the 3.9.4.1.1 material. And update links from the above cited sentences to point to the particle-path, as opposed to the model-group-path. But then it seems 3.9.4 becomes a better home for 3.8.4.2, as it's mainly about particles, not model groups.
In August and September 2009 the XML Schema working group performed triage on the remaining open issues in a WBS poll [1], whose results are summarized at [2] and accepted formally at [3]. In the course of that triage we decided to close this issue without further action. Since this is a WG issue, not an external one, I'm going both to mark it resolved and to close it.
