Hi Bryan, The target namespace for that schema is absent. If you include the schema from another one that has a target namespace then the components from that schema will have that target namespace (I believe this is called chameleon schema). See an example below: test.xsd <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://example.com"> <xs:include schemaLocation="common.xsd"/> </xs:schema> common.xsd <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:element name="test"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="a"/> <xs:element name="b"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> The following instance is valid against test.xsd <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test xmlns="http://example.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://example.com test.xsd"> <a></a> <b></b> </test> Best Regards, George --------------------------------------------------------------------- George Cristian Bina - http://aboutxml.blogspot.com/ <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com bryan rasmussen wrote: > Hi, > As per the subject line. > > I am looking over a rather big application with some XML schemas in > which elementFormDefault is always given as qualified but there is no > targetNamespace.
