Re: [ciq] XMLSpy Schema validation error

["David Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Michael,

I strongly suggest you also use OxygenXML.com validator too.

It corrects many problems that XMLSpy does not identify.

We are using OxygenXML to validate the BPSS V2 schema.

> Description:
>  Validation of an element that is referenced from an imported schema
> validates in XML Schema view but fails in the text or  grid view. The
> error occurs sporatically, since multiple elements are referenced and
> only one fails. Works fine in XMLSpy 2004. Also, same schema, which is

> Steps to Reproduce:

> the CoRApplicaiton.xsd CoRApplication.xsd validates in Schema view but

> There are references to the declarations in the imported schemas.
