Title:

 Invalid XlinkPropertyName type

Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier
release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Detailed explanations of the above categories can
be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.


Reason for change:

 The schema wfs.xsd (found at http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd)
defines the type of XlinkPropertyName as “xsd:QName” on line 87. This is
invalid, because XlinkPropertyName encapsulates an anonymous complexType
declaration. Also, XlinkPropertyName cannot have a substitutionGroup of
“wfs:PropertyName” because it is not validly derived from PropertyName.

Summary of change:  Remove ‘type = “xsd:QName”’ and ‘substitutionGroup=”wfs:PropertyName”’ from
lines 87 and 88 respectively.
Consequences if
not approved:

 The wfs.xsd schema is invalid because of these problems. If the
substitutionGroup is kept, Change Proposal 05-072 will also have to be
addressed.
