> Sca-core.xsd defines a single complexType for two very different things:
> - the definition of a property type (in a Type definition, i.e. a component 
> type or a composite, which I view like a partial definition of a concrete 
> type)
> - the configuration of a property on a component (an instance of a type)
> As far as I know we're not supporting the definition of property types on 
> instances yet, some programming languages do that and it's useful but we 
> don't support this on components yet :) so Component should define its 
> <property> element differently. We should have two different types:
> - PropertyType - representing the definition of a property type
> - Property - representing the configuration of a property on a component
> I will bring this issue to the OSOA spec workgroup.
> Here's what I propose:
>     <complexType name="PropertyType">
>         <complexContent>
>             <extension base="anyType">
>                 <attribute name="name" type="NCName" use="required" />
>                 <attribute name="type" type="QName" use="required" />
>                 <attribute name="many" type="boolean" default="false" 
> use="optional" />
>                 <attribute name="override" type="sca:OverrideOptions" 
> default="may" use="optional" />
>                 <anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax" />
>             </extension>
>         </complexContent>
>     </complexType>
>     <complexType name="Property">
>         <complexContent>
>             <extension base="anyType">
>                 <attribute name="name" type="NCName" use="required" />
>                 <attribute name="source" type="string" use="optional" />
>                 <anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax" />
>             </extension>
>         </complexContent>
>     </complexType>
> Note: I also propose to change the definition of PropertyType and Property to 
> extend anyType instead of containing an <xsd:any>. The way the 0.95 XSD is 
> defined you cannot assign a simple value to a property or define a simple 
> default value on a property... for example the following SCDL will cause an 
> XMLSchema validation error complaining that property can only contain 
> "element only" content:
>       <property name="currency" type="xs:string">USD</property>
> I'm not an XSD expert so maybe there's a better - simpler? :) way to support 
> this very simple case than extending anyType... but this definitely needs to 
> be fixed.
