Dear John,

I agree with Mike -- however I also do see that in your document you are referring to types using no prefixes either, which may indicate that you are declaring a default namespace.

Maybe if you would share your entire document, it would help narrow down the issue, or at least all the attributes and xmlns/targetNamespace bindings, usually all at the xsd:schema element.

Thanks and kind regards,
Ghislain
