Metadata driven configuration: name format and xsd schema

[Wessel, Keith]

All valid points. But given your comment about nobody doing much editing, I'll take this as an opportunity to find a place on that page to note what the xsd prefix needs to be mapped to in case someone else like me comes along and isn't sure which namespace it's referring to.

Thanks, Scott.

The assumption is you'd get the error once and say "oh, this example uses the XML Schema namespace to define the boolean type and I didn't define that". And it assumes you know what XML Schema is, what that type system is, how xsi:type works, and that xsd is referring to that.

You're also assuming any of the examples "just work". Mine are largely untested, and nobody fixes or adds to them despite it being an editable wiki, and so they sit.
