Hi Folks, The following XML Schema declares an element to be nillable and the element has a default value: <xs:element name="test" type="xs:string" nillable="true" default="Hello, world" /> That is legal but is it meaningful? What does this (schema-valid) XML instance mean: <test xsi:nil="true"></test> xsi:nil="true" indicates that there is no information available for the <test> element. The default value indicates that there is information available for the <test> element and the information is "Hello, world". Right? Isn't that a contradiction? /Roger
