Attributes of mappedDatatype used #2
Description
I would like to revisit the attributes of mappedDatatype for possible improvement in Orchestra v1.1. These attributes were mostly created to drive FIXML schema generator, but they should be more general purpose.
In current code FIXML generator actually uses:
@standard, @base, @pattern, @minInclusive
@maxInclusive could be used for datatype ranges (was not present in Unified Repository).
Not used:
@builtin, @element
I'm not sure what builtin was intended to represent, perhaps a primitive type in the target encoding.
Element was added in Orchestra so we could could express aggregate types such as array of some element type. However, a length or size attribute to express a fixed-size array is missing, e.g. currency code, a character array of size 3.
