Yes, there is a problem with http://www.bibletechnologies.net/OSIS/osisCore.2.1.xsd Try to download it with you Web browser and you'll get an HTML error page (hence not parsable as XML) saying this: --- We Are Sorry ... The page you selected was not found. Click here to return to your previous page - or - Click here to return to this site's home page --- Tell me where I can find OSIS schemas and send me a document using these schema as an email attachment (mailto:hussein at xmlmind.com) and I'll create for you a configuration which will make documents conforming to OSIS schemas easier to open in XXE. The key component of this configuration is called an "XML catalog". With it no matter what you'll find here: --- xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace http://www.bibletechnologies.net/OSIS/osisCore.2.1.xsd"; --- XXE will always get its osisCore.2.1.xsd from the *local* *copy* contained in the configuration (which is faster and safer). --- PS: Please use xmleditor-support, your questions about XXE and your experience with XXE are of general interest.
