May be, but to my knowledge the W3C XML Schema v1.0 standard does not recognize this other standard. If this is the case, please report this problem as a bug by pointing us to the relevant section of the W3C XML Schema v1.0 standard. > > My schema does this: > > <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"; > schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/> > ... > <xs:element name="name"> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:simpleContent> > <xs:extension base="dd-name"> > <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang" fixed="zxx" /> > </xs:extension> > </xs:simpleContent> > </xs:complexType> > </xs:element> > > But I get a message that the value zxx is invalid.

According to the W3C XML Schema v1.0 standard, "zxx", "und", "" are not valid language codes, hence the validation error. (In contrast, "en", "en-US", "fr", "fr-CA", etc, are valid language codes.) > > What am I doing wrong?

More precisely, you need to add to this configuration the following <cfg:spellCheckOptions> configuration element: <cfg:spellCheckOptions skippedElements="name" /> if your <name> element has a namespace, please do not forget to specify this namespace.
