[By all means go ahead and > experiment, but be warned that this is a tough area!] XML-Data inheritance is different from the sense of "inheritance" in "inherited attributes". An element A inherits from another element B iff: 1) it is said to do so; 2) every attribute in B exists also in A, and with a compatible attribute type; 3) the required content of B is a subset of the required content of A. -- John Cowan cowan@c... e'osai ko sarji la lojban. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
