Using the schema below, and a sample xml file, I get an error that I do not believe that I should receive.
On xerces�j I get: [Error] file: null a.xml:1:143: Datatype error: It is an error for both length and minLength to be members of facets.. On xerces2-j I get: [Error] file: null c.xsd:21:45: length-minLength-maxLength: It is an error for both length and either of minLength or maxLength to be specified. Now, the definition for c does not have minLength and length. baseType has minLength and c just has length. It appears that because the minLength facet on the basetype is fixed, it objects to me setting the length. Xerces-C doesn't object to this, and I can see nothing in the spec that says that anything should object to it. Is this a bug that I should report? Oh, and can anyone explain what on earth the point of fixed attributes on facets is? Given that you can only restrict a type to be more restrictive. A use-case might be handy.
