I'm just jumping into the middle here as this suddenly touched
on something I need clarified too.
From the ebXML stance I want to use the Registry as the means
to store datatyping definitions references for the RELAX parser.
So I really care that I can do this consistently and NOT be
limited to W3C schema facets which are not compatible
with legacy business facets.
I would like the parser to be able to apply those datatyping
rules against content.
An example - dates - I would like to validate 'YYYY-MM-DD'
as a facet mask. The registry could point to a component
library that given a string can validate true/false against that,
and the parser can simply incorporate that library call.
This probably opens a ton of things - but if we can come up
with a simple and consistent way to provide the business
functionality - this would be a major win.
Thanks, DW.
