Description Priscilla Walmsley 2012-04-18 15:40:30 UTC 
The DTD for Schemas has a default value (false) for mixed attribute on complexType.  This is inconsistent with the Schema for Schemas (where it was taken out in 1.1) and the XML Representation Summary in 3.4.2.  

I think the DTD for Schemas should be modified to remove the default value, because if defaulted it could conflict with the value on the complexContent element.
Comment 1 David Ezell 2012-04-20 16:15:33 UTC 
Agreed.
Comment 2 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2012-10-20 20:50:41 UTC 
It should also be mentioned that this issue requires one change to the datatypes spec, so 

  https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-2/datatypes.errata-2012.html
  (member-accessible link)

should also be consulted.
Comment 3 Priscilla Walmsley 2012-10-21 15:00:03 UTC 
This looks to me to be corrected in the diffed version of the spec.  Thanks!
Comment 4 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2012-11-23 17:22:38 UTC 
Since PW has already reviewed and agreed with the change, I'm closing this issue.
Comment 5 Priscilla Walmsley 2015-05-23 18:57:44 UTC 
Changing status from CLOSED back to RESOLVED because otherwise this bug does not appear in the search linked to from the Errata page at http://www.w3.org/XML/XMLSchema/v1.1/1e/errata.html
