Re: [xml-dev] Reusing Locally Defined Element in the Same parent Tag using "ref" ?
Having this kind of feature, usually requires shadowing a declaration higher with a declaration with the same name below. I also feel, that designing an XSD document according to this feature doesn't bring more benefits than costs.

hi,
For the Snippet below :
<xs:complexType name="Team">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Size">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
<xs:totalDigits value="1"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="teamLeads">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="Size"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The element "Size" has local scope , Why Can't it be reused locally?
Usually in Programming Languages , a local element is accessible in
its complete Local Scope.Why isn't it implemented the same way
here?(i.e Why is "Size" not referenceable inside the whole "Team" Tag
)
Thanks
