The schema is indeed valid, but it defines a type that has no valid instances, so an instance generator should refuse to generate any instances of this type. There are many other types you can define that have no valid instances, for example a restriction of decimal with a pattern of "[A-Z]". Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
