Afternoon folks, I have written a schema (http://eildon.ucs.ed.ac.uk:1964/Zblsa/zblsa.xsd) to define data (of which http://eildon.ucs.ed.ac.uk:1964/zblsa.return.4.xml is an example) This setup passes the W3C validator (version 20010502, at http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv), however I want to extend my [shakey] grasp of schemas by the method of test-by-breaking - whereby I include extra elements, or incorrectly composed elements, and confirm the results are what I predict. My problem is that I can add a new element (not defined in the schema), or miss out a required element - and it still passes. Can anyone explain why adding an undefined element does not break my schema? or why missing a required chunk of data passes the validator test? Many thanks -- --==++ Ian (slightly confused) Stuart I build things: computer programs (with code); or cars (with metal)
