[Fwd: ObjectRef and RegistryObject need common base type]

[Farrukh Najmi <farrukh.najmi@sun.com>]

It seems that the regrep-comments list is now requiring that the sender 
be subscribed? This does not seem right. Should we not allow an external 
commenter to send comments unimpeded? I could not even figure out how to 
tell Mei Zhao to subscribe. Kathryn, could you please look into a 
solution to this recurring problem.

In any event the issue/suggestion below seems to make good sense from an 
OO stand point.

Hi Farrukh,

Seems like the mail got bounced back using 
"regrep-comment@lists.oasis-open.org". Is this email address correct?

Dear ebXML TC,

During our implementation of the ebXML Registry version 2.5 
specification we came across a minor limitation in the rim.xsd schema 
and would like to suggest a simple improvement to make implementation 
easier.

Currently the rim.xsd schema has the RegistryObjectType and 
ObjectRefType defined. Both these types have an id and home attributes 
defined. In many situations during implementation it is desirable to 
treat an ObjectRef and RegistryObject symmetrically. This is currently 
not possible because the current schema does not provide a common base 
type for RegistryObjectType and ObjectRefType.

The enhancement we would like to propose is to add a common base type 
called IdentifiableType from which we derive both RegistryObjectType and 
ObjectRefType :
                                 
                               IdentifiableType
                                      |
                         ----------------------------
                         |                          |
                 RegistryObjectType            ObjectRefType


In such an approach factor out the id and home attributes that are 
common to both RegistryObjectType and ObjectRefType and put them in the 
new IdentifiableType.

Regards,
Mei
