FW: legal use of anySimpleType

["Butler, Mark" <Ma...@hplb.hpl.hp.com>]

Hi, I am using Xerces in Jena to process RDF as I describe below. I have
encountered a problem when using anySimpleType. I have asked the xml-schema
working group to comment if this is legal, but not received a reply - can
anybody here comment?

thanks in advance, 

Mark Butler

which uses RDF. One of the major changes with UAProf V2.0 [1] is it adopts
the XML Schema based approach for RDF datatyping proposed in the recent
RDF-core Working Draft [2]. However when I try to process the XML Schema [3]
produced by the UAProf drafting committee XML Schema tools report errors as
the schema uses anySimpleType.

Despite reviewing the specs and your issue list, I am afraid I am still
confused? I suspect that E1-22 [4] in the errata for XML Schema is intended
to clarify this but I'm afraid the decision is not clear to me? I note Jane
Hunter [5] has also asked the same question, although in a different
context, so perhaps you can point me to your reply?
