RE: [xml-dev] Is there a way to reuse and extend an enumeration in XML schema
Agree completely - but in this particular case (what Jon Bosak is
requesting input for on the UBL-dev list) I understand that the goal is
to not alter any of the distributed UBL schemas, which - as I recall -
do currently impose such restrictions.
