If you want to use the xml:space or xml:lang attributes in your schema you have to declare them by reference and import the XML namespace from W3C. You can't "redeclare" the attributes as in the above schema. So, first you have to import the XML namespace using the import statement like: <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/> You also have to add a namespace declaration on your xs:schema element. Like: <xs:schema ...xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"...>... No, you can reference the attributes defined by this namespace in your own schema using: <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang"/> Hope this helps. /Eddie
