This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
XML Schema 1.0 had a Part 0: Primer. This document has not yet been brought forward into XML Schema 1.1. The WG recognizes that the material in the primer, augmented to reflect the capabilities of XML Schema 1.1 could be useful in understanding. The issue is whether or not to provide in-place primer-style examples throughout the Structures spec, and if not, what disposition is appropriate.
The WG decided that while this would be a good idea for future versions of XSD, the effort required to add this kind of primer material is very high, and doing it right will require more time than is available.
