I've got an issue with the XQueryX Schema...

[Philip Fennell]

Whilst in the process of generating some XQuery code via XQueryX I've noticed that the area of variable declarations 'xqx:varDecl' does not seem to be supported properly/completely by the published XML Schema.

The following example:

<xqx:varDecl>
  <xqx:varName>NAT_ID</xqx:varName>
  <xqx:typeDeclaration>
    <xqx:itemType>xs:string</xqx:itemType>
    <xqx:occurrenceIndicator>?</xqx:occurrenceIndicator>
  </xqx:typeDeclaration>
  <xqx:external/>
</xqx:varDecl>

causes the validation to fail (in oXygen using Xerces) with this message:

SystemID: C:\Users\...
Engine name: Xerces
Severity: error
Description: cvc-elt.2: The value of {abstract} in the element declaration for 'xqx:itemType' must be false.
Start location: 16:7
End location: 16:19
URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cvc-elt


It suggests that this declaration:

<xsd:element name="itemType" abstract="true"/>

at line 341 in the XQueryX schema is the culprit.


Is there anyone maintaining XQueryX at present and, if so, would they like to suggest an update for the schema.
