Sorry for the confusion, and the Core WG will indeed reconsider this declaration. However it is not the case that you cannot specify a fixed value for this attribute as it stands. The following is a valid schema document corresponding to a valid schema: <xs:schema> <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd"/> <xs:complexType name="spaceTest" mixed="true"> <xs:attribute ref="xml:space" fixed="default"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema> Please let me know if this addresses your immediate difficulty. ht -- Henry S.
