Complex types in DR 11-0021

[Chris Rae]

Hi Muratan-san - I'm reviewing this DR (http://cid-c8ba0861dc5e4adc.office.live.com/view.aspx/Public%20Documents/2011/DR-11-0021.docx) and I believe it does cover the addition of clauses for each of the elements you call out here (the various "20.4.2.x" clauses). These cover the prose necessary to specify the new elements in DrawingML, I believe.

Chris,

Some element names in the proposed addition have never been used in dml*.xsd.  They certainly need new subclauses.

bash-3.2$ grep "\"cNvCnPr\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0
bash-3.2$ grep "\"cNvFrPr\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0
bash-3.2$ grep "\"linkedTxbx\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0
bash-3.2$ grep "\"txbx\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0
bash-3.2$ grep "\"txbxContent\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0
bash-3.2$ grep "\"wgp\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0
bash-3.2$ grep "\"wpc\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0
bash-3.2$ grep "\"wsp\"" dml*.xsd | wc -l
0

I also think that the other elements also need new subclauses, although they appear in existing schemas.  Historically, if the same element name appear in more than one context, OOXML has always introduced more than one subclause.

Makoto

Complex types always have an extant instance in an element definition, so they are introduced that way. So I don't think we need to explicitly introduce definitions of the complex types.
