[oXygen-user] Multi-schema validation with namespace-implicit and xml-model-specific schema references

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hi Gary,

Oxygen treats the schema determined from the namespace of the root 
element (namespace resolved through the XML catalogs as an URI) as a 
fallback schema association (implicit), if no explicit schema 
associations are present.
An xml-model PI is explicit and thus overrides this fallback schema 
association. It's impossible to tell if the xml-model PIs complement or 
override the implicit schema (just from the PI declaration), so it was 
decided to always override it.

I see you have already found the workaround, it may seem superfluous, 
but right now if you make one explicit association, you also need to 
specify the one that was implicit.
I've submitted a request on our issue tracking tool to discuss if/how we 
should allow the implicit association to stick.


BTW, the option  "Process namespaces through URI mappings for XML 
Schema" does no affect XML instances, only XML schemas.

Regards,
Adrian
