Good to know: XML Schema types

They can also be anonymous.

4

Anonymous types can be defined under any xs:element or xs:attribute. Non-anonymous types have a global scope and must be defined directly under xs:schema.

Anonymous types can be defined under any xs:element or xs:attribute. Non-anonymous types have a global scope and must be defined directly under xs:schema.
