Different Validation in XML Spy 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4

xml spy 4.3
Has anyone else come across problems with XML Spy 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 such as
those described below?

Thanks,

Todd

=========================

I have attempted to validate the xml instance with the following schema
(below) in:

MSXML 4.0 (successfully)
MSXML 4.0 SP1 (successfully)
XML Spy 4.2 (successfully)
XML Spy 4.3 (*un*successfully)
XML Spy 4.4 (*un*successfully)

<snip/>

In any case, validation in the products above are inconsistent.  I have not
tried anything else.  I hope that XML Spy 4.3 and 4.4 simply have a bug, in
which case, I also hope the bug will be fixed in a future version.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd

Your schema looks fine to me so I would suggest that a bug was introduced in
the
later versions of XML Spy.
