16180 2012-03-01 16:49:45 +0000 should schZ014_a be valid? 2012-12-04 00:51:14 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XML Schema Test Suite Microsoft tests 2006-11-06 All Windows 3.1 NEW needsDrafting P2 normal --- 1 am_spamfaenger cmsmcq David_E3 mike public-xml-schema-testsuite oldest_to_newest 64828 0 am_spamfaenger 2012-03-01 16:49:45 +0000 I don't find a clause in the XSD 1.1 spec which makes test schZ014_a of set MS-Schema2006-07-15 invalid. The most likely one - src-import.1.2 - isn't violated in my opinion, because a namespace attribute is present, but with empty value. Section 3.17.2 XML Representations of Schemas says: "...supplying an empty string for targetNamespace is incoherent, and is not the same as not specifying it at all." So in my opinion also src-import.1.1 isn't violated, because the empty value of the present namespace attribute is not the same as a not specified targetNamespace. 66701 1 mike 2012-04-13 16:18:41 +0000 Personal response: I would contend that there are three "reasonable" interpretations of <xsl:import namespace=""/>: (a) it's an error (b) it's equivalent to omitting the namespace attribute (c) it's equivalent to omitting the xsl:import element I think the spec currently doesn't give any support to any of these interpretations, and my preference would be for (a). Saxon currently adopts (b), which means this schema document is invalid because the namespace is the same as the target namespace of the containing schema document. 67324 2 David_E3 2012-05-04 16:27:02 +0000 discussed on the telcon https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2012Apr/att-0004/2012-04-13telcon.htm 67325 3 David_E3 2012-05-04 16:34:06 +0000 Resolved: to make the empty string invalid in the spec, and mark the bug as needsDrafting.
