Description Arthur De Magalhaes 2007-01-15 21:34:07 UTC 
This bug applies to the following testcase:
msData/schema/schZ015.xsd

The empty schemaLocation attribute means that the document is trying to <import> itself.  Therefore this testcase is not valid, and an error should be thrown.
Comment 1 Zafar Abbas 2007-02-02 19:47:37 UTC 
Agreed that this test should not be published as a compliance suite. We are following up with the WG to determine the process of updating the test suite.
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2010-03-26 15:55:48 UTC 
Noted that although the spec says:

"It is not an error for the application schema reference strategy to fail."

In this case the strategy might well succeed (treating "" as a same-document reference) and access a schema document whose target namespace is the wrong namespace, which would be an error.

So it all depends on how the schema-location is resolved, which is implementation-dependent.
Comment 3 David Ezell 2010-04-02 15:35:11 UTC 
WG decided on 2010-03-26 to mark this "implementation define".
