Remarks

This element serves as the beginning marker of a version-dependent schema extension to a parent element. A single extension is expressed by one or more other data elements, of any name in the same target namespace (tns:) of a given schema file, enclosed between this element and a <ct:end> element. This is illustrated in the following XML snippet, where <tns:someElement> represents a schema extension.

<ct:delimiter />
<tns:someElement>someValue</tns:someElement>
<ct:end />

For multiple extensions to the same parent element, there will be multiple instances of the <ct:delimiter/> element, but a single occurrence of the <ct:end/> element. Each <ct:delimiter/> signifies the beginning of one version of the schema extension. All the versions of schema extension must be enclosed between the first <ct:delimiter/>element and an <ct:end/> element. This is illustrated in the following XML snippet, where <tns:someOtherElement> and <tns:someOtherOtherElement> represents another version of the extension.

<ct:delimiter />
<tns:someElement>someValue</tns:someElement>
<ct:delimiter />
<tns:someOtherElement>someOtherValue</tns:someOtherElement>
<tns:someOtherOtherElement>someOtherOtherValue</tns:someOtherOtherElement>
<ct:end />

Example

The following XML snippet shows a use of the ct:delimiter and ct:end elementd to add a voiceMailStamp as a schema extension to the otherOptions category instance value.

<otherOptions xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/09/sip/options/otherOptions" xmlns:ct="https://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/09/sip/commontypes">
  <permissions>
    <personalInformationManager>outlook</personalInformationManager>
