RE: redefining base element integer

You can define this type in two ways:
 
(a) a list of xs:integer with minLength=0, maxLength=1
 
(b) a union of xs:integer with a type that allows only a zero-length string.
 
>From a validation perspective, these are identical. If you're using
schema-aware queries and stylesheets then (a) is probably the better choice,
especially when static typing is used.

Subject: redefining base element integer


Is it possible to redefine the base element integer to create a new type
integer that will also pass an empty string as a value?

Thanks for your help,
