title: XSD: default integer value range
body: <p>Is there an implied default value range when defining an element of a specific data type in an XSD file?  For example if I define an element of type integer:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;xs:element name="MyIntegerElement" type="xs:integer"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does this have an implied min and max value that it will validate to?  I know I can explicitly define the valid ranges like so: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;xs:element name="MyIntegerElement"&gt;
     &lt;xs:simpleType&gt;
        &lt;xs:restriction base="xs:integer"&gt;
           &lt;xs:minInclusive value="1"/&gt;
           &lt;xs:maxInclusive value="16"/&gt;
        &lt;/xs:restriction&gt;
     &lt;/xs:simpleType&gt;
  &lt;/xs:element&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if I don't do this when I validate an XML file against this will it default to a range of valid values?  I've been digging around in the XSD documentation but haven't found the answer yet. </p>
