Both Jeff and Shon have pointed out the poor characteristics of the Sun proposal w.r.t. DsmlValue.
In the spirit of the observations, I'd like to propose the following change:
<!-- **** DSML Value **** -->
<xsd:simpleType name="DSMLValueType"> <xsd:union memberTypes="xsd:string xsd:base64Binary xsd:anyURI"/> </xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:complexType name="DsmlValue"> <xsd:attribute name="valuetype" type="DSMLValueType"/> </xsd:complexType>
ciao, Christine

The way that DsmlValue is currently defined would have an operation look something like:
<addRequest xmlns="urn:oasis-open:dsml:2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dn="cn=a, o=b"> <attr desc="objectclass"> <value> <utf8>inetorgperson</utf8> </value> </attr> <attr desc="cn"> <value> <utf8>a</utf8> </value> </attr> <attr desc="GUID"> <value> <binary>bz5mv6g5BUWtMD0QomH1kQ==</binary> </value> </attr> </addRequest>
I can live with this, though for reasons that are purely aesthetic, I prefer the DSML 1.0 encoding of <value> which would look something like:
<addRequest xmlns="urn:oasis-open:dsml:2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dn="cn=a, o=b"> <attr desc="objectclass"> <value>inetorgperson</value> </attr> <attr desc="cn"> <value>a</value> </attr> <attr desc="GUID"> <value encoding="base64">bz5mv6g5BUWtMD0QomH1kQ==</value> </attr> </addRequest>
or even maybe even:
<addRequest xmlns="urn:oasis-open:dsml:2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" dn="cn=a, o=b"> <attr desc="objectclass"> <value>inetorgperson</value> </attr> <attr desc="cn"> <value>a</value> </attr> <attr desc="GUID"> <value xsi:type="xs:base64Binary">bz5mv6g5BUWtMD0QomH1kQ==</value> </attr> </addRequest>
which would make it more amenable to schema validation than the 1.0 scheme, though less so than the current proposal.
Any one else have any thoughts on this?
