Thanks once again! I'm understanding it better now.
Good luck!

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?
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.
).
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?
