XSV - possible bug with XSV type checking

Not sure if this is a bug with XSV or a misapprehension on my part, but if I validate a schema with lines like:
   <xsd:attribute name="id"                  type="xsd:ForceBreak"  use="required" />
   <xsd:attribute name="year"           type="xsd:integer"  use="required" />

I would expect a failure because I wouldn't expect [type="xsd:ForceBreak"] to be acceptable because it is not an xsd: type.
This came to light when I had a schema that contained  type="xsd:real", which another tool (Xerces?) did not like (quite rightly by my interpretation of XML Schema spec).

So I would be interested in knowing whether this is a bug or a known behaviour that has a sensible reason behind it. If the latter, it might be worth posting something with the XSV to explain it.

thanks

Ian Mockford
