In the Microsoft Particles test set, test groups particlesOb001 et seq (note the first O is a letter): I believe: particlesOb001.xsd should be invalid: The content model of the complex type R is not a valid restriction of the content model of the type B. Restricted type allows xs:any content that is not allowed by the base type. The xs:any wildcard in the restricted type has a processContents that is less strict than the processContents in the base type The following tests are invalid for the same reason: particlesOb002.xsd particlesOb004.xsd particlesOb008.xsd particlesOb009.xsd particlesOb013.xsd particlesOb018.xsd The last two are also invalid because the wildcard permits namespaces that are not permitted in the base type.
This test should indeed be invalid. This is due a bug in the packaging process of Microsoft schema tests.
Agreed, the schemas in these tests are invalid, and the metadata will be changed to mark them as such.
