    Hello,   This section of EBMS3CORE states the following about eb:Property: An eb:Property element is of xs:anySimpleType (e.g. string, URI) and has two attributes: @name: The value of this REQUIRED attribute must be agreed upon between partners. @type: This OPTIONAL attribute allows for resolution of conflicts between properties with the same name, and may also help with Property grouping, e.g. various elements of an address.   Two comments:   1)  the type of eb:Property is of type Property, an extension of non-empty-string; the ebMS3 schema does not reference xs:anySimpleType.    2)  the @type attribute is missing from the XML Schema at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/ebms/v3.0/core/ebms-header-3_0-200704.xsd The type attribute is useful so my preference would be to add it back to the schema.   Perhaps we should start a JIRA or spreadsheet for the TC to collect issues to handle in a future errata.    Pim
