Here's a simple document which fails to validate with 'xsdvalid'. The additions to the substitution group are in the second schema called 'citrus-fruits.xsd'. It complains that there isn't a non-abstract element in the substitution group--which there is in the second schema.
It does validate if you specify citrus-fruits.xsd on the command line using -s. The files are attached. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
