That's not what I said. :-) whiteSpace='preserve' does a fine job at preserving line feeds if they were in the attribute's [normalized value] [1]. The way you've written the document the line feeds get normalized by the XML parser before they hit the schema validator. If you actually want a line feed to be included in the content of an attribute value you need to encode it (e.g.
