[Bug 11764] New: Unresolved xsi:type should not affect validity against a type

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11764

           Summary: Unresolved xsi:type should not affect validity against
                    a type
           Product: XML Schema
           Version: 1.1 only
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Structures: XSD Part 1
        AssignedTo: David_E3@VERIFONE.com
        ReportedBy: cmsmcq@blackmesatech.com

In discussing bug 10664 this morning, the WG agreed that it was probably a
mistake to say that if xsi:type fails to resolve, then the element carrying it
is not locally valid against ANY type.  Element Locally Valid (Type) of section
3.3.4.4 now says this for elements without a governing element declaration (and
there may be an analogous rule elsewhere for element that do have a governing
element declaration).

We may wish (for compatibility or other reasons) to ensure that any element
carrying an unresolvable xsi:type attribute is invalid, but if so then it needs
to be done in some other way.

The editors were instructed to look for and propose a fix (or to come back
with the news that no fix is available).
