I agree and this is not a big issue. I just thought that while we are changing the XML schema anyway, this change wouldn't be to troublesome either. I believe <complexType name="dsDataType"> <sequence> <group minOccurs="0"> <element name="keyTag" type="unsignedShort"/> <element name="alg" type="unsignedByte"/> <element name="digestType" type="unsignedByte"/> <element name="digest" type="hexBinary"/> <element name="maxSigLife" type="secDNS:maxSigLifeType" minOccurs="0"/> </group> <element name="keyData" type="secDNS:keyDataType" minOccurs="0"/> </sequence> </complexType> would do the trick and still be backward compatible, wouldn't it? /Ulrich -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- List run by majordomo software.
