Fun, this XML stuff, isn't it. I bet we could play all day with elements and things :-)
If you think XML has a serious purpose, then be more thoughtful. Anne's suggestion is right on the money. Perhaps James is teasing us with his! The flightList element serves no purpose. All data structures should be as concise as possible otherwise we wind up with useless baggage. As an aid to understanding the implications of schemas, you might want to write down sample instances. James' solution: <bookFlightsResponse xmlns="http://ie.tcd/taylorjw/flightbooking";> <flightList> <flight> <flightNum>123</flightNum> <sourceAirport>LAX</sourceAirport> <destAirport>YYK</destAirport> <flightDate>1005-08-12</flightDate> <seatsAvailible>31</seatsAvailible> <seatPrice>$175.95</seatPrice> <numberOfSeatsToBook>3</numberOfSeatsToBook> <bookingNumber>456</bookingNumber> <information>Charter</information> </flight> <flight> <flightNum>321</flightNum> <sourceAirport>LON</sourceAirport> <destAirport>ADH</destAirport> <flightDate>1005-07-25</flightDate> <seatsAvailible>17</seatsAvailible> <seatPrice>$365.95</seatPrice> <numberOfSeatsToBook>1</numberOfSeatsToBook> <bookingNumber>789</bookingNumber> <information></information> </flight> </flightList> </bookFlightsResponse> Anne's solution: <bookFlightsResponse xmlns="http://ie.tcd/taylorjw/flightbooking";> <bookedFlights> <flightNum>123</flightNum> <sourceAirport>LAX</sourceAirport> <destAirport>YYK</destAirport> <flightDate>1005-08-12</flightDate> <seatsAvailible>31</seatsAvailible> <seatPrice>$175.95</seatPrice> <numberOfSeatsToBook>3</numberOfSeatsToBook> <bookingNumber>456</bookingNumber> <information>Charter</information> </bookedFlights> <bookedFlights> <flightNum>321</flightNum> <sourceAirport>LON</sourceAirport> <destAirport>ADH</destAirport> <flightDate>1005-07-25</flightDate> <seatsAvailible>17</seatsAvailible> <seatPrice>$365.95</seatPrice> <numberOfSeatsToBook>1</numberOfSeatsToBook> <bookingNumber>789</bookingNumber> <information></information> </bookedFlights> </bookFlightsResponse> Slight variations on your schema, James, could well justify the use of flightList but not as it stands.
