Description Sandy Gao 2005-09-09 03:00:36 UTC 
There is contradictory definition of the meaning of ##other in the Rec Draft of 
XML Schema. One section indicates that any attribute/element from any namespace 
other than the target namespace is valid, including absent namespace. Another 
section specifies that a valid attribute/element must be namespace qualified. 
So is the absent namespace valid or not?

Comment 1 Sandy Gao 2005-09-09 03:01:17 UTC 
Henry confirmed that absent is not included. Note that a related issue was 
raised in R-65 (bug 2054).

Resolution
Henry to draft erratum correcting the text in section 3.10.1.

Proposed text approved at the June 28 concall.

Primer erratum E0-10 added. Structures erratum E1-11 added.
