[DDI-users] DDI schema 2.1 (Winona Salesky)

[Mark R. Diggory]

Actually, after some minor review, I determined the correction should 
actually look like:

>         <xs:sequence>
>             <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
>                 <xs:element name="range" type="rangeType"/>
>                 <xs:element name="item" type="itemType"/>
>             </xs:choice>
>             <xs:element name="key" type="keyType" minOccurs="0"/>
>             <xs:element name="notes" type="notesType" minOccurs="0" 
> maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
>         </xs:sequence>

And is this way in and prior to Version1-3.xsd. I made corrections in 
the CVS tree and am currently working on changes for the formating tags 
there today as well.

Cheers,
Mark
