I agree. I would move the complexType definition to file
"genericRailML.xsd", if Volker agrees.

I applied the ideas, mentioned by Joachim:

<xsd:complexType name="tElementWithIDAndName">
<xsd:attribute name="id" type="tGenericID" use="required" />
<xsd:attribute name="name" type="tGenericName"
use="optional" />
<xsd:attribute name="description" type="tElementDescription"
use="optional" />
<!-- Provide an extension point for other attributes-->
<xsd:anyAttribute />
</xsd:complexType>

If needed, I can upload a new version of file "genericRailML.xsd" on
developer page.

Other schema coordinators should apply this type in order to get a
step forward to harmonized railML-schemas.


On the other hand, all references should be renamed e.g. following
way:
<xsd:attribute name="trainRefId" type="tGenericID" use="optional">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
Reference to "id" attribute in "train"
element, "timetable" subschema
</xsd:documentation>
<xsd:documenation>
Other remarks, e.g. for semantical usage
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation
</xsd:attribute>

I would prefer to define a new simpleType "tGenericRef" in
"genericRailML.xsd", in order to distinct between "id" and "*refId".

Optional or required use has to be decided in special context of
element usage.

Best regards,
Susanne
