Hi Guillaume, First of all, this implementation behavior could not be a bug with a XML Schema engine, as XSD specification doesn't recommend anything about details of the error reporting, upon XML Schema validation failure.
To my opinion, at the least XSD implementations are expected to report validation success or failure (i.e, a kind of 'true' or 'false' validation outcome) after a XML schema validation episode. How validation error messages are constructed, and how much of error reporting is performed by schema engines, is implementation dependent. In this particular case, reporting all instances of identity-constraint violations may be a nice to have feature (but IMHO, it's still debatable, whether this is a best design in this case), but not doing so, doesn't make Xerces non-compliant to XSD spec :) It seems to me, that seeing all of identity-constraint violations if error instances are as less as 2-3, may be good to see. But if let's say we make the error list unbounded, producing all the error instances (imagine this list size to be say, 500!) could be unpleasant to see.
