[Documentation] Merge 'Typed elements' with their target? #5

Closed earnaud closed 5 years ago

earnaud commented 5 years ago

Some elements have a 'Type' attribute pointing to a complexType. This produce redundant structure but it shows the user how the EML is conceived, with simple elements pointing to more complex ones. However, the EML structure has yet been flattened in a more legible way.

The question is: shall we merge the 'typed' Elements with the complexTypes they're pointing to? (and then what about the Groups?)
