Thank you for the answer.
So "whiteSpace='preserve'" facet could not preserve any line feed in an
attribute's value. Am I understanding this right?
Good luck!

Vitaly,
XML parsers are required to normalize [1] attribute values. The line feed
would be substituted with a space (i.e. 0x20) before the schema validator
sees it.
Thanks.

Greetings,
Could someone please enlighten me on why these document had been
validated without error? Shouldn't the line feed be preserved when
validating the 'd' attribute so that the pattern check fails?
