[higgins-dev] Data Model: closed or open simple data types?

["Jim Sermersheim" <jimse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm re-threading this question.  It affects a number of assumptions CP implementors and consumers make.  Does anyone disagree with my understanding below?  The APIs I'm referring to are:

ITypedValue.getDataType() and IAttributeSimpleValueModel.getType() (the former is simply a shortcut for the latter).

So, based on my perhaps flawed understanding of what types get reported to the caller, the IdAS javadoc states that simple value types are always one of the XML schema built-in simple datatypes (excluding the ur-type anySimpleType, but including its subtypes listed in http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2).  You can see a table of these in Section 3.

If I'm mistaken and IdAS simple value types are supposed to be something else, we need to address that.
