You can get the answer to such questions by looking at the schema for schemas.

User-defined content is not allowed as a child of xs:schema, but it is allowed as a child of xs:documentation or xs:appinfo within an xs:annotation, which is itself allowed as a child of xs:schema.

Subject: Unknown elements in an XML Schema

Hello,

 

What is expected from an XML Schema processor when an element is encountered in an XML Schema document which is not part of XSDL?

Does XML Schema allow child elements to xsd:schema that are not defined in the standard? I mean, is a schema processor supposed to ignore such elements or report an error when encountering such elements?

 

Thanks.

 

Shlomo.
