Schemas Identity Constraint

Hi,

I have problems with Schema's Identity Contraints.
I can't understand the behaivor of some Xpath expressions on selectors.

For example, if I use ".//*" as the selector, the constraint aparently don't
apply.
And if I use the "*" that is a subcase of ".//*" the contraint is applied.

I readed a little at the Schema Specification(3.11.6), and ".//*" is a well
constructed XPath expresion for a selector.
I think that the problem is that it break one of the Indentity-constraint
Definition Validation Rules (3.11.4), but I can't find which rule.

Someone can help me?


This are my test files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="testfile.xsd">
	<Element name="NAME1"/>
    	<Element name="NAME1"/>
</Root>


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
	<element name="Root">
		<complexType>
			<choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
				<element name="Element">
				    <complexType>
					<attribute name="name"/>
				    </complexType>
				</element>
			 </choice>
		</complexType>
		<unique name="IdentityContraint1">
		    <selector xpath=".//*"/>
		    <field xpath="@name"/>
		</unique>	
	</element>
</schema>

Parsing the XML file returns that this is OK (aparently ignoring the Identity
constaint).
If I change the selector for "*" the parser informs of the identity constraint
violation.
