Sorry for continuing confusion. Elements in instances covered by local declarations are required to be _unqualified_, if the 'form' attribute of that declaration is 'unqualified', or absent and the 'elementFormDefault' attribute higher up is 'unqualified'. Elements in instances covered by local declarations are required to be _qualified_, if the 'form' attribute of that declaration is 'qualified', or absent and the 'elementFormDefault' attribute higher up is 'qualified'. 'Qualified' and 'unqualified' are _not_ the same as 'prefixed' and 'unprefixed' (for elements). Your example document had _unprefixed_, _qualified_ names for its elements (because it had a default namespace declaration). So your schema needs to have form='qualified', or elementFormDefault='qualified', in order to schema-validate your instance. There is indeed a misprint in the primer: as I hope the context around it makes clear, the relevant sentence in section 3.1 [1] should read "In po1.xsd we globally specify the qualification of elements and attributes by setting the values of both elementFormDefault and attributeFormDefault to unqualified."
