Description Sandy Gao 2005-09-14 17:50:06 UTC
If an element matches <any> with processContents=skip, but has an xsi:type 
attribute, may/must it be assessed?

Schema-Validity Assessment (Element) disallows finding an element declaration 
or laxly validating using the ur-type when the context-determined declaration 
is skip, but does not mention skip in section 1.2 which includes the xsi:type 
case.

It seems most reasonable to me that an element matching skip should be 
completely untouched by the validator, just like an element outside the 
validation-root.
