Description David Ezell 2011-07-29 15:42:55 UTC 
complex004.n2.xml
Spec says instance should be valid, since it matches the declared type, and xsi:type defaults should not be honored.

I would like further discussion of this.

3.2.6.4 says: Note: It is legal for Attribute Uses that refer to xsi: attributes to specify default or fixed value constraints (e.g. in a component corresponding to a schema document construct of the form <xs:attribute ref="xsi:type" default="xs:integer"/>), but the practice is not recommended; including such attribute uses will tend to mislead readers of the schema document, because the attribute uses would have no effect; see Element Locally Valid (Complex Type) (

Expected result of complex004.n2.xml has been changed to "valid".
