[oXygen-user] A question concerning depth of validation using 5.1

[Sorin Ristache]

Dear Stefan,

The line 648 of the schema *jhove.xsd* contains:
									<xs:any namespace="http://www.aes.org/audioObject 
http://www.loc.gov/mix/" processContents="skip" minOccurs="0" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

You say that the element *mix:DateTimeCreated* from line 32 of 
*mix2.xml* contained in an element *mix:mix* should not be validated. 
But the element *mix:mix* is in the namespace *http://www.loc.gov/mix/*, 
allowed by the above attribute *namespace* of *xs:any*, and the 
attribute *processContents* has the value *skip* (that means no 
validation for any element from the allowed namespaces). So *mix2.xml* 
is valid. For more information please read the section *Wildcards* of 
the W3C XML Schema recommendation:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Wildcards
