Hi,
Thanks for taking a look at this. As it turns out the problem was with the xml
document. In trying to keep my example short I actually cut out the portion that was
causing the problem. When using the full document it doesn't validate with 2.1 either.
<xs:attributeGroup ref="OTA_PayloadStdAttributes">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation xml:lang="en">This element
defines standard attributes that appear on the root element for all OTA
payloads.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attributeGroup>
The document includes an annotation element that is a child of the attributeGroup
element. That is what Xerces was complaining about. Remove it and Xerces is happy.
<xs:attributeGroup ref="OTA_PayloadStdAttributes"/>
Thanks again,
Steve

Hi,
Your cut down example does validate with 2.1. Unfortunately I do
not have a copy of 1.7 around to test against. There have been many bug
fixes since then although I cannot find an entry in Bugzilla relating to
this.
A shot in the dark would be to try self closing the
<xs:attributeGroup ref="OTA_PayloadStdAttributes">
because I suppose it does have text content.
