Hi, I tried that and the error I get is (apparently fitting what I should be waiting for): --- line 37, error: cvc-type.3.1.1: Element 'myElement' is a simple type, so it cannot have attributes, excepting those whose namespace name is identical to 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' and whose [local name] is one of 'type', 'nil', 'schemaLocation' or 'noNamespaceSchemaLocation'. However, the attribute, 'attribute' was found. line 43, error: cvc-type.3.1.2: Element 'myElement' is a simple type, so it must have no element information item [children]. line 43, error: cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '' is not a valid value for 'error'. line 43, error: cvc-type.3.1.3: The value '' of element 'myElement' is not valid. --- (line 37 is the beginning of my wrong element, and line 43 is at the closing tag)
I would rather have an error saying: --- line 37, error: cvc-enumeration-valid: Value 'value3' is not facet-valid with respect to enumeration '[value1, value2]'. It must be a value from the enumeration. --- (I get this using my own complexType errors. So something like this would be nice - it is easier to understand than the first 4 errors.)
