OASIS Emergency Management TC

Rex,

Glad to help out here.  

Feb 22nd works well - gives me extra time to look at those other message formats.

I'm hoping people can provide us feedback on rule / content refinements as they review the examples - as what is up there so far is just my best guess - rather than actual scenario information.

Thanks, DW

David,

I see what you mean when you say that this is a grey area in XSD.  I checked
the Recommendation and indeed this is a grey area.  It is true that the
current CIQ schema does not violate any normative statement in the
Recommendation.  So even though it is intuitively wrong, it is not an
outright error either.

The reason I say it is intuitively wrong is that *actually* extending a
"complex type definition with simple content" into a "complex type
