You can't define qualified names directly -- you must define a schema for the namespace in question, and import the definition from there: <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/News"> <attribute name="attrName" type="string"/> </schema> <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/Other" xmlns:newns="http://www.example.com/News" xmlns:my="http://www.example.com/Other"> <import namespace="http://www.example.com/News"/> <complexType name="foo"> . . . <attribute ref="newns:attrName"/> </schema> ht -- Henry S.
