Elysa,
This illustrates why it is a very bad idea to put example XML in the specification. Sigh.
OASIS needs to stop doing this - and make examples external to the document - in the same way as XSD artifacts are.
Please tell them to go with what the xsd Schema is telling them the XML should be - and NOT the specification examples.
On their second point - Bed capacities - I too had puzzled over a good way to use this. I agree with their call to use only BedType and ignore SubCategoryBedType.
It may help them to quickly load the EDXL schema into the CAM toolkit (sourceforge.net/projects/camprocessor) and then generate XML examples and documentation - so they can construct the exchange XML that they need.
=====================================================
"It only allows zero or more <BedType> elements, followed by zero or more <SubCategoryBedType> elements, followed by zero or more <Capacity> elements.
I can't figure out how to properly represent or interpret bed capacities in this structure. Can you advise on the correct method? If it is true that this just doesn't work as intended, should we decide to use only <BedType> and avoid the use of <SubCategoryBedType> in the EDXL-HAVE Haiti Profile?"
Thanks, DW
