Re: Possible bug in xPIL.xsd - within CIQ v3.0 CS02

Hi Ram,

I think I may have found a bug in the default xPIL.xsd at line 479 - that line shows:

<xs:anyAttribute namespace="#other" processContents="lax"/>

...I suspect the use of "#other" should actually be "##other" - do you agree?

I found this when I:

1: Created my own XSD (lets call this file cdws.xsd) with my own namespace and attributes

2: Created an XML document that used xPIL.xsd and my own XSD (cdws.xsd)

3: In my XML document inserting attributes in the ContactNumber element as defined in the namespace within cdws.xsd caused a validation error (I was using the latest version of XMLSpy)

...I must admit I did not spot the suspected missing # character straightaway - but when I saw it I double checked the rest of the CIQ XSDs* and I could not see any other "#other" usages anywhere so I thought I would let you know.

*The same issue is also in xPIL in the genericode version on line 594

When I modify the xPIL.xsd to make it use "##other" at line 479 my XML document validates ok.

Please let me know your thought when you have time!

Thanks,
