Re: Element default problem - This is the last (I hope...)

MSXML4.0 says that according to this schema:

<xs:schema  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
 <xs:element name="root">
  <xs:complexType>
   <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xs:element name="e1" type="xs:token" default="N/A"/>
    <xs:element name="e2" type="xs:integer" default="12"/>
   </xs:choice>
  </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

the document:

<root>
 <e1 />
 <e2></e2>
</root>

is not valid because (I copy the msxml response):
The value of '' is invalid according to its data type.
The element: e2 has an invalid value according to its data type.

The first sentence tells us that the "empty string" is not a valid value
(probably for e2).
The second sentence... tells the rest.

So, for the last time (I promise!): is MSXML4 wrong?

Thanks,
Gabriele
