[DDI-SRG] HTML layout issue, and GLOBAL

[Wendy Thomas]

This note really has two questions, the first regarding the HTML layout 
and the second regarding the use of GLOBAL

J and Achim,

In marking these up to send to Mary and Sanda for documentation review I 
have noted that attributeGroup contents are not getting pulled into the 
complex type descriptions. For example in archive.xsd RelationType you get 
a list of elements then Attributes: and a big blank space. I've checked 
the schemas and this seems to primarily be a problem in the 
OrganizationScheme where it is used for attributeGroup name="PRIVACY"

The other location is in reference
    <xs:attributeGroup name="GLOBALS">
       <xs:annotation>
          <xs:documentation>GLOBALS is an attribute group containing the 
set of repeated XML attributes available throughout DDI 3.0. The id 
attribute provides a unique identifier within the domain of its 
maintaining agency - that is, no two IDs for the maintaining agency may be 
the same. xml:lang is the attribute as provided for in the XML 
specification.</xs:documentation>
       </xs:annotation>
       <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:NCName"/>
       <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang"/>
    </xs:attributeGroup>

This attributeGroup is used in IdentifiedStringType, SoftwareType, 
OtherMaterialType, NoteType. In short these items use a different 
Identification structure than all other identifiable elements. So I guess 
thats another question....Why?

IdentifiedStringType seems to be an orphan (only found in reusable under 
its complex type description
Software is never referenced but used as a complex element in other 
modules
References for OtherMaterial and Note go from the OtherMaterial or Note to 
an identifiable element, not the other way around

If GLOBAL and its use is an orphan I will add it to the orphan bug already 
in mantis. If not, please somebody explain its use.
