RE: [election-services] EML v5 and xs:any
In the 
UK CORE project, we extend the VoterInformation element to include a 
VoterEligibilityDate element. We would have extended the PreferredChannel to say 
what election types the channel was being used for (parliamentary or local). 
There was no xs:any, so we had to define our own PreferredChannel element 
instead (in another namespace) and use the xs:any of VoterInfomration to add 
this. There are several other examples in this project.

Paul,

  
 

  
Can you give a quick simple use case where someone would need this to 
  illustrate its purpose?

  
 

  
Thanks, DW

I have been looking 
    through EML, and many complex data types (such as for
Voter Information) 
    are extensible through the use of xs:any, while many
others (such as for 
    Agent) are not. Since it appears to have no
disadvantages, I propose to 
    add <xs:any namespace="##other" 
    minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/> to every global complex type. 
    Does anyone have a
view on this? Responses by Friday 
    please.

Regards
