Hi Tom, > The xml namespace should not need to be imported. It is supposed to > be implicitly known. You are correct that the XML namespace does not have to be declared in an XML document (or schema) -- you can use qualified names with the prefix 'xml' without having an xmlns:xml namespace declaration in your schema. However, a schema validator does not have built-in knowledge about any schema components aside from the built-in types. A schema validator does not have built-in attribute declarations for xml:base or xml:lang, for example. Just as in DTDs, if you want to include these attributes in your XML document, you must declare them in your schema. And to declare them in your schema, you must import a schema for the XML namespace. Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/
