SV: SV: Any wildcard and the .NET validator?

Well I think no matter which is right the spec at this point is unclear
(unless clarified at some other place in the spec in which case it is just
convoluted)

On the one hand it is obvious that what should be being processed laxly is
description, on the other hand it is somewhat a perverse use of an attribute
to say that an attribute on an element defines anything other than the
meaning of that element(given the definition of attribute in the xml spec)!
And if the attribute defines the meaning of any and any is bound to the
concept of an element Node (as I read the spec) I guess then .Net is right. 

So I could swerve between these two interpretations all day. It's enough to
make one take up a more Relax-NG method of validation. :)

Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen

I think that is an excellent assessment Bryan. I wonder which is right? 
It is interesting that every other validator I have tried passes the 
document. I haven't tried Saxon, and it seems my Altova is broken... 
must fix that...

Thanks!
