comments not ignored in schema validation
-----------------------------------------
Key: XERCESJ-1090
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1090
Project: Xerces2-J
Type: Bug
Components: XML Schema Structures
Versions: 2.7.0
Environment: win2k, jod 1.5.0_01-b08
Reporter: Paul V. Biron
Priority: Minor
Section 3.1.4 of Structures says:
[Definition:] ... the initial value of an element information item is
the string composed
of, in order, the [character code] of each character information item
in the [children] of
that element information item.
The above definition means that comments and processing instructions,
even in the
midst of text, are ignored for all ·validation· purposes.
However, xerces 2.7.0 complains about comments within elements with empty
content models.
