Description Michael Kay 2008-10-15 12:37:02 UTC 
Within an xs:anyAttribute element, the keyword ##definedSibling is permitted to appear. Yet it appears to have no effect. So why allow it?
Comment 1 David Ezell 2008-10-17 16:19:49 UTC 
WG agrees this might be helpful.  But a change to the S4S may be required, and other side effects may make this bug difficult to resolve.
Comment 2 Sandy Gao 2008-10-24 17:27:21 UTC 
On 2008-10-24, the working group adopted a proposal to address this issue by disallowing ##definedSibling in attribute wildcards.

The proposal (along with changes for other bugs) can be found at (member-only):
