Can anyone tell me how a schema-aware validating parser decides which schema to use in this case: ns1.xsd: <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="ns1"> <xs:import schemaLocation="import.xsd" namespace="ns2"/> <xs:element name="root"/> </xs:schema> import.xsd: <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="ns2"> <xs:element name="child"/> </xs:schema> ns2.xsd: <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="ns2"> <xs:element name="child"/> </xs:schema> test.xml: <a:root xmlns:a="ns1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema- instance" xsi:schemaLocation="ns ns1.xsd ns2 ns2.xsd"> <child xmlns="ns2"/> </a:root> If I remove the "ns2 ns2.xsd" pairing from the instance document's xsi:schemaLocation attribute, the rule defined by import.xsd will be used. What happens when this attribute is left in? Is it up to the processor to decide? Any help is appreciated! -Jack
