Offsets within composite types #11

Closed mjpt777 closed 8 years ago

mjpt777 commented 8 years ago

How composites have now been specified I'm unsure about the implementation. How does one specific the offset of an enum, set, or composite within a composite? Only encoded data types seem to carry the offset attribute.

donmendelson commented 8 years ago

Offset attribute should be shared by all encoding types, including simple type (XML type encodedDataType), enumType, setType, and compositeType (for nested composites, if we choose to create such a thing).

mjpt777 commented 8 years ago

It should be but the schema does not allow it :-)

donmendelson commented 8 years ago

Understood. Unless someone else would like to jump in with a proposal, I will propose a revised XSD under v1-0-RC4 folder.

@mjpt777 if we can get recent proposals approved quickly, would you like to jump to RC4 in your implementation?

mjpt777 commented 8 years ago

We can jump to RC4 if does not change the scope of the work to be done significantly.

donmendelson commented 8 years ago

The working group suggested changing "positionAttributes" to "alignmentAttributes". Other attributes may be added to the group in the future.
