This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Validation errors occur upon running textiselementcontentwhitespace05/06. The DOMConfiguration 'schema-type' parameter is optional. If this parameter is not set, a default value may be provided by the implementation, based on the schema languages supported. The default schema-type for Xerces is W3C XML Schema. Infact Xerces does not support pre-parsing DTD grammars and setting schema- source to DTDs. So in these test cases an attempt is made to validate against W3C XML Schema grammars that are not set and so the validation errors. The tests need to be modified and the simplest change would be to use a document with an associated XML Schema for these tests.
