Basic XML questions are out of scope on XSL-List. XSL-List is for discussions that are directly relevant to XSLT and/or XSL-FO.

Regulars: Please remember to answer off list if/when you respond to off-topic questions. Thank you.

Hi:

A basic xml question. Can an element that is required per the schema, be empty and the file still valid?

For example, if I hav an element id as mandatory per the schema,

<test>
<id/>

<otherelement>others </otherelement>

</test>

is this still valid xml?
