Hi, Sorry if that has already been fixed but I am still on version 7.2p1.
Xsdvalid considers (against other implementations including Xerces2 and IBM SQC) that the following schema is invalid: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xs:element name="foo"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="bar" type="xs:token"/> <xs:element name="bar" type="xs:token" nillable="true"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> and says: repro.xsd:E:7:16: d?claration d'?l?ment "bar" incoh?rente [cos-element-consistent] The rec says: Schema Component Constraint: Element Declarations Consistent If the {particles} contains, either directly, indirectly (that is, within the {particles} of a contained model group, recursively) or ?implicitly? two or more element declaration particles with the same {name} and {target namespace}, then all their type definitions must be the same top-level definition, that is, all of the following must be true: 1 all their {type definition}s must have a non-?absent? {name}. 2 all their {type definition}s must have the same {name}. 3 all their {type definition}s must have the same {target namespace}. And lists type definitions are properties of element declarations at the same level as the nillable property. My interpretation is thus that you shouldn't raise a cos-element-consistent error when the types are the same and the nillable attribute is different.
