Spec format - abstaract schema components or surface syntax

[glassfishrobot]

This issue (and the following text) was described in Chapter 8, "Java to XML", Section 8.15.2, "Issue: Spec format - abstract schema components verus surface syntax". I moved the text out of the chapter into this issue to clean up chapter 8 for Early Draft version of the specification.

– Start: Text of the issue from Chapter 8 –

Note - Resolution : Specify in terms of abstract schema components. Note - This issue is related to the format in which the specification is written and otherwise does not contribute to the actual content of the specification.

There can be more than one surface syntactic representation for a schema component. So the issue is:

Should the mapping of Java to XML schema he Java->Generated XML schema be specified in terms of surface syntax or abstract schema components defined by the XML Schema specification ?

For example, the following XML schema fragment from XSD Part 0, Primer(the namespace prefix has been changed from xsd: to xs:, used in XML Schema->Java in JAXB 1.0 specification).

The above XML schema fragment can equivalently be written as: For this version of the document, the mapping in terms of abstract of schema components is assumed.One or more examples will also be shown in one surface syntax. However, the examples will be non-normative. – End: Text of the issue from chapter 8 – #### Environment Operating System: All Platform: All #### Affected Versions [2.0 draft]
