RE: Validation with multiple schemas

Hi Dave,

Your instance is using an old namespace - it should be "2001" instead of
"2000/10", like this:

> t.xml:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <foo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
> xmlns="t" xsi:schemaLocation="t t.xsd s s.xsd" xmlns:s="s" 
> s:type="bar"/>
 

Hope that helps,
Priscilla
