[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: anyAttribute
 It means that you can put any attribute into the schema document itself -- provided (namespace="##other") that those attributes are in neither the null namespace nor XML Schema's namespace. In the example you gave your "extra" attributes are in the null namespace, so that's invalid. (And as Michael Kay pointed out, putting extension attributes into the schema itself doesn't have any effect on the validation process unless the validator somehow knows about them; it won't cause the attribute to appear in the validated document, for example.)

Thanks. So the fact that <anyAttribute> appears in the W3 XMLSchema's schema doesn't mean that an arbitrary attribute of my own making may be introduced into a schema conforming to the W3 schema. If I placed <anyAttrbute> in *my* schema, I would expect that instance documents would be able to contain attributes that aren't explicitly defined by my schema. I'd expect the same to be true for my schema, which is merely an instance document of the W3 schema.
