RE: [xliff] matches as a module

["Estreen, Fredrik" <Fredrik.Estreen@lionbridge.com>]

Hi All,

I believe that the circular references are legal in XML Schema. To test this I built a small infinite recursion test where you can alternate between namespaces. I also included the "xml" namespace and lang attribute to make sure that can be used from both schemas and namespaces at the same time. You need to properly set up catalogs or have tools that have their own catalogs for this to work well.

I tested validation using xmllint and XML Validator Buddy and both worked and did proper validation in the nested namespaces.

Regards,
Fredrik Estreen
